That will buff right out

In all honesty, does not look that bad. As others have said, you have options. Could get the wheel fixed to look like new or get a replacement wheel. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

Could have been worse. Last time I hit a curb, I thought I just got curb rash. Nope. Ended up bending the wheel hub as well

Be thankful it's just a wheel… I think these wheels are ugly as hell, any dings or scratches would be an improvement.

Like others stated tires fine and so is the rim. You could buy a used one relatively cheap or have a repair shop fix yours. Its not the best method but they can sand it down put some bondo on it and respray that section. Shouldn't be more then $50.

Personally I'd just roll with it and if it makes you feel better the second time I ever drove my car I hit a semi tire tread on the highway on ramp no way to avoid it ended up taking out a chunk out of my front bumper and broke the driver side inner rear fender well.... about $1500 in damage that I've sadly yet to fix

Grab some sand paper and a little block and start sanding. Start at 100,200,400,600 grit.... Take a black Sharpe and touch up the black. 5 feet away you'll hardly notice. Once the face is smooth it'll look better. The first wound is always the deepest, sorry man!

Plasti dip over them. I plasti dipped my wheels and it hides the two spots of curb rash I have on 2 of my rims. But yeah it totally sucks doing that, hate it :/ but that will happen when you dont know the dimensions of your car yet, or let your ex drive

How does plasti dip work?

EDIT: Nevermind, I like the look/colors of the OEM wheels, so I think I'll try to sand it down or just buy someone else's.

I think I'm gong to just sand it down myself. Should I stop at 600 grit?

I didnt notice this before but there is a small gash on the other side of the tire.. I hope this is okay, its maybe 2-3mm deep.

there's DIY guides online that teach you how to repair curb rashes like yours. Wet sanding and using bondo and all that good stuff if you want a tiny weekend project.
