Rim damage!!

lol not that serious. Today I scratched my psngr side rim on the curb. It jus scratched the area lip area that meets the tire. It doesnt look so bad but my OCD wants to fix it right away.. anyone know any cheap solutions I can do rather than take it to the rim shop and spend the quoted $135 and 24hour process. tryin to keep my Konig's fresh..

$135 for a rim repair isn't too bad considering someone else is doing the work. There is a Rim Repair DIY around here.

I also have OCD. I messed up my rims from taking a corner too sharp, resulting is curb-age. I wanted to repair the rim so bad I was willing to shell out good money too. If I wasn't going to get it repaired, I was thinking of purchasing a new set of wheels. Alas, with time my emotions calmed down. I no longer have the fervor to repair or replace the damaged rim.

$135 isn't too bad. You could consider a new one (how much is a new one?), but if you have the damaged one fixed, it will look new.
