"OEM" wheels from online sellers

I accidentally curbed one of the front wheels of my '03 coupe. Checked out ebay for a replacement but the prices for used AND CURBED wheels are ridiculous. Saw several "refinished" wheels but obviously the colors dont match the originals. Then I found these 2 pages:

www.wheelsrims.net and www.wheelsandcaps.com They sell what I understand are replica wheels. I called one of them and they say the color matches factory. I noticed they carry "silver", "hypersilver" and "chrome", so now I'm doubting if they're telling the truth. Has anybody ordered from them? Do they really match the coupe's wheels almost impossible to match color? If so, which one shoud I order, silver or hypersilver?

Check your local dealer. They can fix it if it is just visual damage and not structual.

I agree... Infiniti of Columbus hooked me up with a service here in Columbus that will come out and refinish wheels while it's in for service.. I had a wheel that one of the spokes on my 04 G35x had a "notch" out of it from being curbed by the previous owner.. it cost $100.. but it was PERFECT! It's been 1.5 years.. still looking good!

As long as the wheel is ture and not bent... the can do a perfect match to OEM. Check around man... too many scam shops out there that do "replica" wheels.
