Nicked my wheel, what should I do?!
So today I was driving through a parking lot and some dude was flying through the lot and I had to cut my wheel sharper than I wanted to. When I did that it caused me to tap a curb..it didn't seem bad and really isn't that bad but there is an annoying nick on my wheel what should I do just leave it, replace it or is it possible to have fixed? heres some pics.

Happens to the best of us man... Don't replace the wheel, cause more than likely, it will happen again sometime. i got a bunch of those as well. From when I was in Philly and the crappy *** out of nowhere potholes and crap roads. I know my dealership here has a touch up painter guy come in and fill and repair those nicks. He comes once a week, and takes like 5 ppl each time...takes like an hr. total for total job...looks flawless too! even fills them. Maybe ask your dealer or body shop if they know anyone that does this type of service in your area. Hope this helps.

only one place i would take to get my wheel repaired...............http://www.wheelcollision.com/ out in bath, pennsylvania..........they are the best in the business..........of course there are many cases where it is just cheaper to buy a new wheel...........but if you get yours fixed by them you can be assured the thing will be 100 percent good as new....

I feel for ya man -- just chalk it up to battle damage. Just today I was driving down the expressway minding my own business...then some truck in front of me decides to dump it's load on the expressway at 80 mph -- needless to say I now have scratches on the front of my bumper....*sigh*.
