So... I've had a hell of a time getting a rim repaired...

First go at it was just a small repair and they tried to blend it... the finish was horrible and it was a sh*t job...

Second go at it was much better but they can't seem to get the color exactly where it needs to be... They completely took everything off and redid the rim, but even my wife can tell which means it's not just my OCD.

What options do I have? It seems like the replacements online are a different width, i'd rather not order 2.

So irritated............

Oh yeah, it the 19' PP rim on the front.

I ended up powder coating all four of mine. I've read too many threads like yours attempting to match the OEM paint. If the rims you're looking at not the same width, they are the Ford Performance aftermarket wheels. I'm not sure how well the paint matches with the PP wheels. You might want to research that.

Here's what my wheels look like now. They're a little more glossy than OEM, but with all 4 done, it's hard to tell it's not original.
