I have the staggered AMG 5 spoke monoblock alloy wheels that come with the Sport package. When I bought my car both of the front wheels needed curb rash repair.

I decided to call in a mobile wheel repair specialist. They repaired both of the front wheels ON the car for $125/each and they did a fantastic job. I would strongly suggest that you consider this avenue if it works for you.

Did they have to remove the wheels? We have a shop here in OKC but you have to take the wheels to them. A pain if you take them one at a time, or have a whole set so you can take all four at once. If you had before and after pics to share that would be great.

Repair was done on the car. There are places that I could have taken the car to and they would have needed the car for 24 hours to do all four wheels. That's why I decided to go this route.

$125/wheel, on the car, 75-90 minutes/wheel.

Here is the after shot. Looks like a brand new wheel.
I don't have a before shot. Too Ugly....

Very nice, I wish we had mobile services here in OKC. I noticed your mobile bumper painting too nice.
Yes, it may be that there is a lot of car lot dealer business(there bread and butter) for these guys that allows them to exist. They really did an excellent job.

We got wheel repair guy and bumper repaint working at MB dealership in North Carolina. Weeel repair guy comes once a week and I ask my dealer to give my car to fix scrached rims. Quality is great (same as above).
Price is $75 per wheel if paid directly to guy or $75 + 30% dealer surcharge if paid to the dealer.
It took 2 hours for 4 wheels, without taking off.
