Need Wheel Info Please

Last week some woman who "didn't see me" hit my left rear wheel. As I drove by she pulled into my lane and got me. She scraped the finish off of a 6 inch (approx 15cm) arc on the face of the rim. Her insurance company only wants to give me 279.00 dollars to have the rim refinished. I don't think the finish can be matched. Has anybody had any luck with this in the NY Metro area?

Thanks
Peter M

Re: Need Wheel Info Please

Here's some ammo (I mean info) for dealing with the insurance company:

Hope this helps. Good luck.
