    I was parallel parking and wasn't paying attention.....ground the crap out of one of my rims. I'll post a pic later. Looks bad.

    What do I do now?

    I suspect it was a front wheel? If so I may have one to sell just let me know.

    Not sure, not a wheel repair specialist--make some phone calls in your area or ask in the region you live for some recommendations

    There are companies that specialize in curb rash repairs. If they are good it should look like new after repair. Good luck.

    I know a place here in Santa Clara. They do excellent work. My friends shop sends all there wheels there. I'm out of town until Wed. and will dig up the contact info in the mean time.

    A wheel repair shop should charge around $75-$100 to get you looking like new again.

    You should see the passenger side wheels on my wife's Mercedes, lol.

    I was gonna say around $100. There are a lot of mobile services so you don't have to take it anywhere.
