Default gutter rash....

gday all, so as the title suggest, i kissed a curb and ended up with a decent scratch on my front passenger rim.
worst part was it was a no stopping zone and had to move!
sooo, im wondering, $250ish on a new rim or powdercoating them black. i can never get my rims clean so think powdercoating might be a good bet.
anyone have ideas on cost and also durability!

Blackshaws in Seven Hills has been giving the XR5 guys some very decent pricing on both repairs and repaints... Give them a call...last time I heard it was $60 for a repaint of a wheel...and only slightly more to have them repaired demending on the severity of the damage of course...
