Welcome to the scratched-rim club. I had the same problem while I was doing the parallel parking but the scratches I have were not that bad. Just gotta remember to stay away from the g*d d*** curb.

Cheersss !!!

There are a few places around that will repair 'curb rash' for about $100 a rim plus the shipping back and forth. The name of one of the companies that does it was posted on this board about a year ago. You could try doing a search to see if you can find it. Otherwise just do an internet search using ww.google.com and I am sure you will find a list of quite a few places. Only thing is you'll have to have the tire removed from the rim for shipping and you'll be driving on your spare tire for probably 2+ weeks.

After a year and a half of ownership I curbed one of my rims this past weekend! What a pissa!

I did bend the sh!t out of two of them in my accident earlier in the year during a snow storm so I guess that counts as curbing them also! I got them replaced though.
