If he is going to sell them, then he might not really care on the repair quality and might raise the purchase cost to cover the repair and now since it looks "new" he can justify the increase in costs. I don't know...but just my opinion on that.

Maybe I should state that I am using 245/35 19 fronts and 285/35 19 rears on the stock OEM Nismo 370Z tires.
the shop he is getting it fixed at is a shop tat everyone on a local fourm uses. I just dont want to risk having a bad fix or a different color rim than the other 3 rims. after he fixes, i can still decide and the rims have curbage, no bend or crack. so i think its okay. im getting a second opinion 2morrow and another local shop.

I have been reading that mass production rims have big hub size, and require rings to make them fit correctly, so i still have to how the rims are without the rings, and see if he has TPMS sensors or i have to buy them myself
