Depending on how bad the curb is, You might not be able to fix it. Usually with curbed lips, they just smooth the lip out. Might look funny. good luck.

that sounds good. I would really ask what the process is fixing the rim. When i used to work at a tire store, we never fixed curbed rims. Might weaken the integraty of the rim and most of the time they just shave the lip and polish and looks horrible.
