So I just purchased a used set of 05 sedan sport rims for my G35x from a forum member (since you can't get the package on the X from Infiniti). But they arrived all scuffed up on the center part of each spoke (the widest part of the wheel). Either due to poor packaging or rough handling. I will need a written estimate before a DHL claim can even be filed. The boxes were a tad big so the wheels probabally shifted around a lot since their was no additional packing material in the box. Then the box inside scratched up the high points. 2 pictures are included, all the spokes look about the same except for 1 rim that was in a slightly smaller box that arrived unscathed.

Since they only need paint not actual rim repair do you think a regular auto repair shop can do it? The closer the Evanston (northern border of Chicago) the better. Its a bummer and a pain but hopefully the claim will be accepted. Thanks all.

 

There are some places in chicago that do this, one place off the top of my head is in Bensenville... check out chicagoz.com, it's a G35 and Z site.. some members have had their rims refinished or powdercoated locally

 

After talking with a few iffy shops I was referred by my local dealer to Wheel-Tech. The Owner Steve seemed cool and gave a me an estimate.
