In the video the rim they are repairing is a nissan one and at the end, the finished wheel they show is an infiniti wheel. Why would they switch out the wheel like that if they want to show their work?

I doubt these come out like stock. At least the infiniti wheels go through a three paint process. I would be more interested if they could fix my curbed Volks and remove the haze from the lips on my wheels

I just had all four stock rims 06 repaired by a service down here in New Orleans and they look great. He matched the factory paint perfectly and fixed some minor road rash and even a chunk of aluminum missing due to a wreck. I noticed the factory paint had some black ? primer ? coming through the silver paint and I did not really like that. But to answer your question I have already had my brother fix a factory vette wheel and once again it's perfect.

Both wheels didn't have the same finish as the stock one. Crappy job.

i would be very pissed if tjey got paint on my brembo's!

they could at least take off the wheel before painting it! or cover the breaks... i mean they wont be able to get paint behind the spokes in order to get the even look in the barrel
