Unhappy '99L stock wheel repair?

Whoops. I had a minor parking mishap against a curb and scrapped the s*** out two of my wheels along about 1/4 to 1/3 of the rim. Can something like this be repaired? Can they be grinded all the way around to look uniform?

Thanks.

you can go to downs ford and pick up brand new ones for $200 a piece.

with one of the old ones you can create a pretty good spare, with the last one art deco, or glass coffee table.

You might try these folks...

I haven't had any work done there yet, but they quoted me $100 a wheel to strip, polish, and re-clearcoat the factory wheels on my Silverado (16" 4x4 wheels). Might be a cheaper option, but you'll have to do without the wheels for about a week.

Good luck!

Wow, I though I was the only dumb a$$ out there that did that I went through a bank teller and scratched the hell out of the front passenger side rim, about 1/4 of is is scraped bad along the beed, still seals perfect, and has plenty of rim left, but looks like chet.
