Curbed a wheel!!!!!!

Due to my own stupid driving habits, I curbed one of my front rims today!!! Scratched it up pretty good... no dents, but definately scratched. Any thoughts on how/where to repair it?

LOL, that'll do it.

Was this an expensive after market wheel? If so, what is the finish on the part that was damaged?

Chrome finish. Its the outer portion of the lip that got chewed up. I'M SO PISSED!!!!

Oh, by the way Todd, thanks for your help with the brakes... your suggestion regarding using the old pads to push back the piston worked great!

You're welcome kind sir. I'm now a pro at changing brake pads/rotors/calipers on any model Infiniti G35, sedan, coupe, 5AT, 6MT... bring 'em on!

Sorry to hear Raul, I don't know any place to suggest but you might want to contact your local Infiniti dealer. They have wheel repair guys that come in a couple of times a week, maybe they can put you in touch with somebody. And I should know, recently curbed the living hell out of two of my rims

I had curbed my wheel a few weeks ago. I am going to pick up my wheel today. I will let you know how it all came out. I just have the stock wheels but I wanted it fixed.

So, what's the verdict? Any repair places here in So. Florida? I just flat spotted my outer lip on some debris yesturday. It was either that or take out the car next to me swerving to avoid it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
