Wheel Curb Rash
The other day, I took my Camaro through an auto quick wash and rubbed both wheels against the rails.
 It's not real bad, but I'm debating on leaving it like it is or getting it repaired. I'm leasing it and might trade it off in the next year if the residual balances with what's owed. Has anyone ever had an issue with lease turn ins and whether curb rash is considered normal wear and tear or damage? I've posted a pic of each wheel. Thanks!

When I traded my Sentra all four wheels had some damage. Dealer knocked $150 off the value. Less than it would have cost me to have them repaired.

Does the car have a full size spare with the same rim? LOL
 Anyway it's been a long time since I leased but the old rule of thumb used to be if the blemish was smaller than a credit card, they didn't charge you. BUT whether you are leasing of purchasing another car from them may also play into it too or if you just happen to get an a-hole reviewing the car that day. Honestly it doesn't look that bad.

looks minor... you are allowed some normal wear and tear imperfections without being charged.
just leave it alone |

I'd leave it alone. From the other posts, at worst it will cost you ~$150.

Is most of that just light surface scuff and paint/rubber transfer from the bumper on the car wash?
Using some white polishing compound VERY lightly with a cloth may clean most of that up where it is not noticeable. Ron
