Curb Rash

Yesterday on my way home from work someone nearly ran me off the road and I put my right front tire into a curb pretty bad. Destroyed the sidewall on my tire. Got the tire replaced last night, getting the suspension and allingment checked out and fixed as I type.

Now the wheel has some serious rash. Two of my other wheels had some rash on them before, but it wasn't too noticeable and the car drove true, so I let it go. But now that I've got this big mark, I figure it might be time to get this taken care of.

So what are my options? These are the OEM rims on a 2000. Believe it or not I really like these wheels and I'm not going to replace them with anything aftermarket (besides, already paid for the tire).

Is curb rash something that's repairable, or am I just going to have to get them replaced? I hope a wheel shop can just take care of it, because I really don't feel like fooling around getting something shipped off eBay, or have my dealer charge me some astronomical sum for new wheels. If it is repairable, how much will the tab be?

Thanks in advance.

You can try them at an aluminum wheel shop. I had really bad curbrash on one of my rims and got it fixed up for 100 bucks. But if the gouges are too deep they can't do anything about it. In that case hit up Ebay or Private Sales and Trades here on AZ

You should seriously check ebay. Those style wheels are fairly inexpensive. I've seen them for well less than $100.
