Hurt my Advan RS's *tear*

So tonight I was going to my parents and I was pulling up to the driveway and they have curb ramps with this pole and I tried to avoid it and misjudged and knicked my rim ...FAIL!! I am so freakin mad at myself!

So I have 2 questions...

1. Is there something I can put over it?
2. Is there somewhere in the states I can send it to get the wheels repaired, I posted other pics and u should see the how much rock chips I have!

I looked at it again and it's not too bad but still makes me mad!

MARK:

i just had someone ruin 3 out of 4 of my brand new wheels when mounting tires.

after some research I learned that wheel repair places only want to strip and completely repaint them.

i ended up calling a local body shop and they color matched a small bottle of touch up paint for me and the match it awesome. 25 bucks too.

hope that helps you save a lot of emails and phone calls.

wow, that one wheel with all those rock chips looks like ****.

if all your other wheels were perfect than i'd worry about getting it fixed. but seeing all your wheels have nicks on them, **** it.
