My woman did, rubbed it against a curb while turning.

Its just a car so I forgave her right away, but would like to get it fixed, and while I'm at it, theres another rim that needs touching up after the previous owner

I redid mine a while back.not sure what ur damage is but i had some bad curb rash on a set of aftermarket wheels. i sanded them from 80 grit all the way too 2000 grit then hit it with some mother polish. shined and looked like new.. the only down side is i did all four so they would "match'. it took about a weeks time doing a little bit at a time. worked wonders for me. hope this can help.

Al's Hubcap is pretty good. I saw many people mentioned this shop in BMW, Lexus and Infiniti forums so I decided to give it a try. I had my bent rims repaired today. It turns out well.
They fix curb rash too.

Al's Hubcaps is one of the best in the tri-state area. Dirty little shop, owner looks a tad shady and strange (like an old hippy/ 60 year old howard stern) but the quality of work is impeccable. simply outstanding.

best place to go is leo's welding
its on pacific 2 blocks down from bedford ave.
just take bedford to pacific and go 2 blocks down towards flabush.
you'll see a big green metal thingy overpass thing, and it's on that block
they charge 50 bux and they do the best job i have ever seen. very highly recommended.

and they have a real aluminum welder and they know what theyre doing with aluminum.
