The curb rash is in the lower left corner next to the air valve. The driver front was the lightest of the damage. My wife says the Starbuck's drivethrus jumped out and scratched the passenger rims.

Nice! This is what I was going to recommend.

When dealerships damage wheels as such they call local wheel repair shops as you did and have the wheels repaired. In general if you're able to get the name of the person/shop that does the dealership repair you'll get OEM quality and by going direct to them, you'll avoid the dealership markup.

All's well that ends well! Hope your wife's Venti Soy Caramel Macchiato was worth it
