Damn curbed my wheel - help
I just curbed my wheel just now getting to close when parallel parking. It was too damn dark to see.
I know nothing bout wheels stuff so.. how bad is it?
sorry bout the bad picture quality.. but i took it in the dark and sony cameras suck(DSC T7).
If I plan to get it fixed can it be fixed without the wheel being removed?

It's a franchise. Went to one in Jersey and my rim looks brand new again. You can't see or even feel where it was damaged. Looks perfect.

I drove like 2+ hours to go to the place at the jersey shore, damn glad I did.

Guy I went to in jersey charged me $125 plus tax, so $132.50. I thought that was more than fair cause the rim is absoultely perfect and it had a pretty bad gash.

cause I don't have a spare wheel, and will i need an alignment if the wheel was removed(pls don't flame if i'm wrong, auto newbee
)?
