Wheels, curbs and a bad day

[scsi]

I took a right turn a little too tight today. I was really hoping I only hit the tire.... nope. At least the first blemish is out of the way, I guess. I really hate curbs sometimes.



Well, now that the damage is done, is there anything I should do? Seems to drive fine, I got up to 85mph on the way home, and didn't notice any balance issues. Has anyone ever had damage like this repaired somehow?

What may be the worst part of this story, I was leaving my favorite coffee shop empty handed, because they ran out of coffee.

That looks very minor. I highly doubt there's any structural damage to your wheels or suspension. There'd have to be evidence of a much harder impact, which is absent here.

Any wheel repairer/refinisher should be able to get that back to looking normal.

+1 looks very minor. Wheel repair guy can sand down that bad boy easy and restore it

Well, sounds like it may not be all that bad. What a relief... I'll have to find a wheel repair shop around here somewhere. Thanks guys!

That looks very minor, for a shop to fix it for you it will probably be 1/3 cost of a new oem rim, probably not worth it.
