Default Oops (curbed wheel)

Ok so I tapped the curb this morning at work when I was going into the parking garage.

I have 2 seperate 1" marks on the side wall.
Anyone have any ideas on where to go to get it fixed as well as what can I be looking to spend?

Friggin pedestrians! I had the same thing happen when a pedestrian ran into the crosswalk after i was already turning. I didn;t want to come anywhere near the ped so I really cut the curb and scraped the rear wheel. : (

Anyone know where/how much it is to fix? How long does it take?

I just had some mobile wheel repair place take care of my wheel. I was a bit skeptical but I can't even tell where the curb rash was now.

I'm sure it will be more difficult with polished rims. I have TE-37's. I wish that I took some before shots. They look like new now! The company that fixed them was http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/ They are contracted by the Nissan and other dealerships in my neighborhood.

I dropped my car off for service at Nissan and when I picked it up someone at the dealership had curbed about 6" of of my wheel. Nissan picked up the bill. It was about $150. I'm not sure if it is a special rate. I dropped my car off in the morning and it was ready by lunch.

Dumb a$$.... JK everyone has been there. Good luck with the fix, Im sure you can get them back looking like new. Hit me up via email, you are always welcome if you are in town - though the Canucks just got bounced from the playoffs. Are you going to E3 this year? If so we should meet up.
