Default Curbed wheel

Im such an idiot... I park my car everyday in the same spot on the curb in front of my office and today I dont know if I was jammin too hard to my Zeppelin or what but I clipped my front right tire/wheel on the curb. Now I have some sweet curb rash on that wheel

What do you think is best remedy for this? New wheel? This is the only time I feel LUCKY to have the lame 17" stock wheels in case I had to replace it. I hate imperfections. My car is perfect except for that now

Got a lil curb rash on my front passenger wheel too and I'm gonna save the repair money for new wheels in the future.

I wont be getting aftermarket wheels though. Also, my car is a lease and I have someone who is interested in taking over the lease at this point.

^^Ahh I mis-read your original post. I wouldn't get a new rim. If you can't live with the imperfection as your leasing it, take it to a shop to touch up. Or let the other person take over as is.
