whats the finish on the wheels? how deep is it?

when i first got my car....i was at the DMV registering it and some dumbass lady started backing up without looking so i slammed it in reverse and curbed my back right wheel. i had a guy come out and fix it at my house. (i have the OEM painted 18" wheels) he sanded/blended the damage, repainted and polished the wheel back to exactly the way it was before!!!! you cant even tell.

thats an option..........

You can take it to a shop and have them repair it for you, if it is not too bad just ride it out till you get something that is more major and then go fix it all at once.

If you're in the Bay Area, Wheels America in Union City did a fantastic job on reparing a big scratch on one of my wheels. Depending on the damage, turnaround time is within 24hours.
