What should I do???
I have to get my OEM 19's repaired due to curb rash, do you think I should....
1. Keep the OEM brushed look?
2. Have them chromed?
3. Have them chromed and then have the center powder coated black like some of the members here have done??
Also i have to get new tires, should i have them put on b4 or after i have the rims repaired?

Where's the curb rash? On the face or on the edge of the rim? If it's on the edge, they'll have to take the tire off anyways to fix it.

Its on the edge, what i think i might do is buy the tires and see if the guy who is repairing the wheels will mount them for me.

Chroming them looks good (depending on the color of your G), but is costly ($600 to $900).
