Ya, I was thinking of just getting new rims, but for right now I think I'm going to try and fix them myself. Then after I get some new tires(hopefully soon) I will try and Plasti dip them black w/glossifier and see how it looks.

Nice, good luck! I currently have mine plasti dipped and it does the job for now until I can pick up some GSR wheels.

Cool. I started sanding the curb rash down some, got it somewhat smooth. I'm going to try some bondo type filler to fill in the spaces even more. However; I live in a apartment and it's been windy and rainy for past few days, so it's been a no go on attempting to paint them( I hope I got color close enough to original color).
I will attempt plasti-dip after I buy some new tires, whenever, that will be, hopefully soon(tires getting to point of being loud on the highway).

Just try the paint on a small section of it first and let it cure. If it is not the right color you will only have to sand a fill a small section instead of the entire section.
