If there was a way you could just get one rim, I'd just do that. Probably be cheaper to buy that one rim rather than getting that one fixed.

lol i had a streak of non curbing for a year then i had to park in a tight spot and a 45 % uphill and i had to turn my wheels and tight and then .. god damn it, i curbed it. but its only very minimal so i left it, you can't even see it unless you feel for it or actually look for it.

the rim is powdercoated it will never look like new and cost 100-150$ to fix....your rim is less then 150 to replace jst get a new one....

You can get it fixed but the price they charge to fix it might as well buy a new rim
