Damn Rims, help..
So i park on a hill outside my house and i forgot to pull the e-brake but had it in first gear. I went inside for about an hour and come out to find the car popped out of gear. The good news is that the wheel hit the curb and stopped it from rolling down the hill, but the bad news is my wheel is curbed pretty bad.
My question is what should I do because I am going in next week to get the rims powdercoated. I have the 05' 19's by the way. Should I just leave it or what?

Get it repaired at the dealership or some local shop. It will probably cost you around $100/120 depending on the place you take it to.
You are very lucky that all that resulted was a messed up rim. I understand that your gear will catch your car but no reason to ever not use your e-brake. If I were you, I would be very happy that it is only costing you a hundred bucks. Could have been much worse...

"Get it repaired at the dealership or some local shop" DO NOT!! Have the Powder coating place repair it. If you take it to a place that fills it with something other then metal . The coating shop will only have to remove the filler & repair it & charge you again for the same repair. Powder coating can not stick to fillers. .. Good luck
