Default Crunched my rim!

Friday night, pouring down rain, couldn't see great. Going slowly (5 mph), I was pulling out onto a road, turned a little too soon, didn't see the non-painted curb, and very nicely took a good chunk out of my rim. Not looking for advice on fixing, I'm just b**ching. Pics later. (Factory 6 spoke 18")

I'm sure you know this already, but don't bother trying to get the wheel replaced at a dealership. You're better off buying a used complete set from someone.

Unless you're going through you insurance, which would probably be a mistake anyways.

Yeah, it's just a cosmetic thing. Functionally, I am pretty sure it's ok. I will probably try to fix it myself sometime, but for now, I'm going to leave it as a lession to my dumb a**.
