Default One of those days, Rim against the curb on new GS, hope it can be repaired.

I bought my 2015 GS in November, due to some unforeseen issues I only have 1500 miles on it but am now driving it the way it needs to be, well maybe not totally. I was parking today and when in front first, misjudged the curb, scrapped my front and to a much lesser extent rear rim. Not sure if the front can be repaired, the rear I am sure can... here are 2 pics, I could not get both issues on the rear but the front speaks for itself. Any feedback appreciated, going to the dealer tomorrow, Wednesday.

Thanks

Looks fixable to me. I had to have my IS rim fixed. Here is the before and after.

Than you JDR.. makes me feel better. Where did you bring it, are there places for this or is it best to use Lexus as the point person?

There are local and mobile wheel repair shops. I was going to use one of those, then my local dealer had a service coupon for $50 off a wheel repair. They just hire it out to a mobile shop who comes to the dealership, but it made it a bit cheaper, and I combined it with my 10k service, so the dealer gave me a loaner car for the day, which I very much appreciated.

Thanks again. I will see them tomorrow, I have a feeling I can get them to help me a bit..... But if it is just a difference of let's say $50 then let the dealer be responsible for the fix... I like that.

No big deal. All of that is easily repairable.
