My rim hits the curb
I was driving to mailbox near the post office. I hit the curb and my rim got scratched on sharp turn
Any idea to repair the rim of the shop?

Just sand it down, mask the area off, spray some new paint on, sand it again to attempt to blend a bit, then spray it with clearcoat ... it won't be perfect but it won't cost you more than 15 bucks and hardly anybody will ever know.... plus, you're gonna do it again anyway.
Usually wheel refinishing can cost around/more than $200 per wheel and that would be the price if you took the wheel off yourself and brought it to them with the tire already removed.

Go to auto supply store and buy 400 or even better 600 or 800 grit wet sand paper (3M) and sand it down and then spray with silver spray paint and you can even use a clear coat spray after that. Also mobile repair guys do a great job and $150 a wheel sounds about right.

if you were to pay for it
$150 sounds too expensive, for that little bit of curb rash
im used to quotes of $100 to repair a lip and thats for super curbed wheels (almost/entire wheel has rash.)
i vote for DIY, but if not, shop around.
also, part of the reason i prefer wider tires is so that theyll protect my wheel lips.
