How much it's going to cost?
Kidding aside, I'd want to either see some examples of repairs done by whoever I was considering or get reference(s) from someone I trust about their workmanship. I'd also want a description of the repair process to assess before I proceeded.

If you go to a shop/dealership, usually runs at least $100 per wheel depending on the existing finish.
If you don't mind DIY, can effectively repair 4 wheels around $50 total (all materials included).
Of cause the difficulty of DIY is dependent on how bad the rash, the type of wheels, the type of paint, the type of design, etc. the easiest would be light scratches on the outer edge of wheel, bare alloy, no paint/basic paint. the most difficult would be something like powder coated (better just send it to a shop) or very complex pattern of the wheel design.
general procedure goes like this: sand down--> bondo filling --> more sand --> primer --> paint/clear coat

What you will need to know Jim, is that she will curb them again. Tell her to park in straight in parking stalls only.
I am sure NJ has lots of great places but one of the best in the country is in New Rochelle NY...Not sure if its against forum rules to post info but pretty sure if you google it or search Ammo's you tube channel they will come up... They did 2 mercedes wheels and a 911 wheel for me and they were perfect!
