Default Slept with a dirty curb...

So i got a rash.... curb rash.... ugh... i woke up an hour late for work so i rushed to work and missed my parking lot, so tried to u turn and didnt quite make it... went up the curb a little.... not full size curb.... but got about 3 inch rashed on the very edge of rim... car is only 3 months old so its gonna drive me nuts..... also scraped paint under the bumped but that can wait... besides buying a new rim, i can have a rim shop repair it cant i? idk how that works, and how much if anyone would like to share their experience. Other day i bumped into curb parking... ughh still used to the accord.... i sat like 3 inches above curbs heh.

Don't worry!! Your rim can fixed. There are many good wheel repair shops. Cost should be about $150 per wheel.

lol thanks for the info, nah, i honestly am perfectly happy with my stockers, i thought about black rims with chrome lip, looks good on silver, but lot of people think mine look aftermarket as is... just surprised how soft the rim was, i touched it after and it was just like concrete power when i whiped off the rim. Not that bad, i went to show my friend and had to look around the rim twice to find it lol. poor bumper is all effed up.... oh well its underneathe.
