Chipped rim
So just noticed my rim got chipped. Not sure how it happened because I've never even parallel parked it yet. It's most likely from the freeway since I commute over 50 miles daily.
The damage is pretty deep, probably 1-2mm. What do you guys think, is it repairable? Anyone knows a reputable shop can repair it near L.A. area?

I would just leave it, I had "reputable" places try and repair my rims before and to be honest it came out worse after...

TBH, I wouldn't even bother with that on my car and I did buy the wheel/tire insurance also.

Yeah, I will just leave it for now and will take it for repair when it gets a few more chips (I know it's gonna happen sooner or later).
I do have BMW tire n wheel insurance, but it clearly says not covering any cosmetic damage.

Doesn't look too bad.. I'd wait for a bit more damage before hitting up a refinishing shop.
Also, +1 for Son Tran. Have only heard good things
