curbed my rim :(

damnit I've had 8 lucky months before today without messing up my rim.. a stupid parking lot in long island had a 2 level curb that I didn't see sticking out..

ended up with some pretty bad curb rash around the edges of my front driveside rim and a couple scratches on the spokes.. I'm thinking of using this car paint coverup on the scratches.. anything I can do for curb rash myself.. any specialists in nyc/li?

the rims are the stock 19" iforged ones like in the pic below

ouch, thankfully this is nothing that serious... really just 3 scratches on the spokes and some curbrash around the edges.. I already covered up the 3 scratches so their almost unnoticable.. I need to sand em down a bit though and redo another coat.. the curbrash though I dont know about

Take it to a wheel repair shop. Or look for a new one on some G35 forums.

iForged and Rays are two separate companies that make forged wheels. Your G35 wheels are made by Rays and are "forged" which is a manufacturing process to make the wheels.
