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. |

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.
