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:


PREVIOUS ROCK CHIPS:

Theres a bunch of rim repair places. Research and google places around you. Ive done this to one of my alloy rims and they fixed it up like brand new, local and about 55 bucks.

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.
