Please help me.
I know probably should be in the tire/wheel section, but am I able to fix this without purchasing a whole new wheel??
A damn curb came up and bit my wheel. thanks. |

There are companies out there that will repair wheels. Search the internet. In most cases they don't even remove the tire from the rim. The damage on yours looks minimal. They could probably sand it down and repaint to match. I did the same thing to one of my rims, a littel worse than yours, but I just bought another rim on ebay that I will swap out when I get some new rubber and I'll get the damaged rim repaired for a back up

Yeah, from the pic it appears cosmetic and easily fixable. Find a wheel repair shop or any local Discount Tire store or body shop will know where to get it repaired.

I feel for you man. $100 bucks seems to be the going rate for wheel repair. Look around your area and afterwards you will be as good as new.

It happens to everyone. (or at least it seems that way
 ) shouldn't be to much to repair. One of my local Camaro peeps had his fixed and I believe it was $120.

unfortunately, my mind shoots first, and asks questions later, meaning, I initially assumed the worst, but i stopped thinking it was the end of the world,

I'm just glad I didn't do this on 21 December 2012, then it could have been the end of the world
