Drop off the whole rim to be refinished and don't worry about it. Most shops that repair wheels charge a flat rate no matter how much of the rim needs refinished.

Your friend saved you a good bit of money, so buy him a lunch or somethin..would have cost you about $110.00 to $130.00 per wheel to have them done by a wheel refinishing company in just about any state.
Sure is nice to have a good friend who comes to your rescue and helps you out....
Later Shocker and Thanks for the good post with the $hit removed....
