Cheapest place to repair rim rash/scratch

Anyone know of a relatively cheap place to get rim rash fixed? I scratched my two right wheels against the curb. I phoned Nubrite and they estimated it would be over $200 per wheel.

I've been to Greens and Panthers. You can give them both a call.

Usually, visual inspection gets you a more realistic estimate.

The cheapest place to get curb rash fixed is your garage, DIYing it really isn't very hard just labour intensive.

Or DIY. it's not that hard, just time consuming.
