Post Scraped my Wheels

Does anyone know a place in New Jersey that I can go to get my rims recondition? I scraped two of my wheels against the curb today. Please advise!!!

Nope, just the ordinary factory alloy wheels.

That stinks, I hear ya though. I scratched the hell out of my old rims because when I parked in the street someone smashed off my mirrors, so then I started parking too close.

Man I scraped my stock rims up a few times...

Then I got my 18"s, good grief I was super careful with them. I took them off for a while, and for the track and put my stockers back on, now I'm not afraid to get close to a curb... Hahahahahah it feels good.

All you guys with 18"s/19"s oughta just put your stock 16"s on for a week or too, it feels soo good to be carefree about potholes and curbs, I almost WANT to go scrape one cause they're expendable.

I say just live with it.. I had my car for a week before I scraped the rim..By me, I can't fight these things. I am more careful now ever since that, so I havent scraped it after..
