Curbed my rim :(

, last night I was at a parking lot looking for parking, as usual I try to find the best spot... here come the worst part, my gf seating next to me kept "yap yap yap............about I should just park anywhere......so while I am dealing with her yapping and trying to find a good spot, I curbed my rear rim into a corner and scratched a 2 inch scar

So here is my story, very upset, does anyone know if it can be fixed or I have to deal with it?

TIA

its fixable. Juss need to find a wheel repair shop around your side of town. Here's a little advice.....always find the furthest parking spot w/no cars around.

With Murphy's law it doesnt matter. I did that and guess what I found this morning? Someone backed up and dented/scratched the **** out of my passenger door. Hit and run. Bastards. Something about new cars being magnets to accidents... One of the tenants is gonna to pay for this.

Apparently the sport wheels are hyper-silver, and so they cant be painted well. A shop fixed mine by grinding down and polishing the rim, it looks fine (defined as "I can see it, no-one else has ever noticed. My wife didn't see it even when I pointed it out)...

Yes, there is a good place at 290 and Cypress Rosehill. I will track down the name and number and repost. They also keep a bunch of wheels in stock.
