Default I Scratched My Rims **PICS**

I'm an idiot. I was driving around downtown Chattanooga, TN tonight and while turning into a parking lot I hit a curb. The front right rim took the hit. 3 of the 9 spokes and some of the lip were damaged. My question: what could I expect to pay for a repair? Any help/info would be great! Thanks.

i think your better off trying to buy a new one if you really care that much about how it looks, i remmeber looking into wheel refinishing, and it ran upwards of 100+ per rim, not really worth imo, unless that is some ungodly expensive rim you have there, hehe

oh and your rotors are on backwards, the slots are suppose to sweep the other way,

the directions of the slots does not matter. What matter most is the direction of the vanes must face forward.

try doing repairing the rim yourself, the only problem is color matching.
