cry??

how deep is it? I'm not sure, but if it's light, I think a body shop could buff it out.

Yes, curb rims, or even some bent rims can be fixed.

However, it will not be "cheap." Up here in Canada, it's around 150CAD to fix a slightly bent/ curbed rim. Around 110 USD.

You really gotta see if it's worth the price... If the rim is expensive... then go for it.

Discount tire will do it for you around $100.
If just a small dent, get it balanced and move on.

Yeah rim curbage is hard to avoid especially if your car is a daily driven vehicle.

Call Sander at The Wheel Supply at 909.468.1311. He's fixed my wheels numerous times and they've come back to me flawless and like new. Good luck!

Best bet is to find a local place because shipping on a wheel will kill you, not to mention UPS will put a few of their own scratches in the rim

here in houston, tx I can get each wheel repaired for $75 (if more than one wheel at a time) or $100 for each wheel individually!

Is the rim bent or just cosmetically damaged? If it is only cosmetic, I would learn to live with it. Otherwise you will drive yourself crazy trying to keep the rims perfect.

Same with door dings and other minor paint damage.

Just my $0.02 worth.

it hasnt bothered me now anymore, its just that i just got the rims and scratched them up already. It is more cosmetic. But anyways thanks for the advice

Within a matter of weeks of getting my new Solara, I got too close to a tall parking curb and scratched the front bumper cover and put a bit of a crack in it. Just by pulling up a little too close at like 1 mph.

Oh well, that's life.....
