Well according to your statement, you said you "curbed" your rim, which means you hit the curb

From the replies I've got so far, I've decided to just get it repaired. I need to get a better quote on the price though. I'll post pics after the repair. Oh yeah, I will also loose my volk GTS sticker on my front wheel

STOP TRYING TO PARK ON THE CURB AND PARK NEXT TO IT.

Be prepared to lose the GT-S decal on the wheel also, thats going to be the biggest difference between the wheels. Volk also doesn't make replacements, think its actually etched onto the surface
