Thee questions to those that have done wheel repairs themselves:

1) What filler material is best to use for a small divet in the wheel?
2) What is the best place to get paint to match the OE color?
3) Are the '05 17's clear coated?

Thanks.

I believe the stock wheels are painted QSM.

- paintscratch.com (select 04 or 05) it's a dead-on match.

They're actually their own color, not quite QSM.

Eh, that's what I though. They look REALLY close though.
