Smudged my shoe

Little brother asked me to take him to Checkers. I tried to get close enough to the window for him and had no idea where the damn curb was. Let this be a lesson learned to never used the drive through, and never ever use the passenger side drive through. it doesnt pay to be lazy, I should have told him to run inside and get his damn bacon champ burger Is there anyway to buff this thing out or paint it? If not, how much would one 19" OEM wheel run me? Im not entierly serious about getting a new shoe because of the smudge below, but if its for the right price at least I wont stare it everytime Im on the passenger side of the car

Should be no more than 100 bucks to have a wheel repair shop fix it. Try to look up some good ones in your area.

Yea... that sucks. A new rim will run you about 800... I would just repair it, it will be cheaper. Or get New rims like CEELOSG37S said.

well in San Diego there is a great place for repairing that problem. They charge $150 per wheel and they look even newer than stock once job done.

Dont ask the dealer, they will charge you more than rim repair shops do. Just try to look up a place online thats close to where you live. This will save you $.

Looks exactly the same as the one I got last night. I had been drinking beers and had my wife drive and she insisted on going through the Sonic drive thru. She hit the curb after leaving the window.

I didn't say have the dealer repair it. Just ask them if they have any shops they recommend or use. If you take it to them they out source it anyways.
