Same thing happened to me with my IForged a week ago. I had my rims on for 3 days and I tried squeezing in for a right turn and thought I had some room and there goes my rear pass rim. The rim was scuffed almost all the way around. I almost teared when I pulled over and looked at the damage. My friend recommended me to a wheel repair shop here in San Diego so I plan on getting it fixed next weekend.

How long does it usually take for a rim repair? Assuming the damage is similar to the OP's
