X5m OEM rims, worth it?

I am getting a set of OEM WHEELS for 900$ which are powder coated, one of the rims have some curb rashes . My current wheels are also same design but mines are curb rashes badly ( I plasti dipped) but that is peeling off. As these are also same design as mine so I am not really convinced if I should purchase. Guys your thoughts or any other suggestions for rims

If you like this style I could see buying another set in much better shape, but otherwise there's oftentimes nice wheel sets FS on here, maybe switch it up? If you're not lowered or going to go lower, I'd stick with 20's.

I am not modifying my car so that means running the stock size . Is it worth buying OEM wheels for 900$

What about general wheel repair to fix your road rash? I've seen companies fill in and repaint rims for as low as $50 per rim. I'd also shop around on the powder coating. You already have the same rims so I don't think it is worth buying another set and selling yours...unless you need another set for winter in CA

I can’t find any place which fix and repaint the wheels in 50$ per wheels and I don’t need winter tires. Here is the price list I got from one shop

chicago is not cheap and most places powdercoat for 300-400. If wheel repair is needed another 200.

LAX Wheel Refinishing can probably do it for $400.
