aftermarket wheel options

[scooterb]

2015 3.6 Ultimate Gray exterior. So 5 years of Indiana potholes and wear have 2 of my 4 existing wheels curb rashed and dented to point where my wheels are barely balancing now....
my options are to send the 2 damaged OEM wheels out for repair - or - purchase 4 new aftermarket (assume OEM too pricey) wheels.
i'm skeptical that the repaired wheels would ever be back to original specs and give me that smooth ride i had before these wheels were damaged.
so a few questions:

• any specifics i need to be mindful of when shopping aftermarket to ensure they perform as well as OEM?
• any pointers to aftermarket wheels they feel would look good on a gray Genny?
• anyone a fan of repairing the OEM wheels? if so - why do so versus "starting over" with 4 new aftermarket wheels?

thanks all!!

I had a bent wheel repaired. Looks and feels perfect. For $120 I had the wheel repaired and the guy balanced the other 3 while at it.

I'd at least ask a pro to look at them and get a price and opinion before buying new.

Yeah - I've had wheels repaired on several cars over the years, they've gotten really good at it.

The bad thing is that when you get 1 or 2 fixed, the other "good" ones really look like crap...
