I know how that feels. Dad drove my car and left a deep nasty curb rash on my rim!

Find a good wheel repair shop, they can usually repair it, and its cheaper than buying a new wheel!

It shouldn't get any worse than it is. Repair is your only fix. Sorry to hear.

Sorry, but you did the right thing by not driving. Cheaper than a DUI or an accident

I thank you for letting a DD drive. My fam and yours is much more important than a scratch on a wheel

Here is an iPhone pic, I let my gf drive home with me and her sister in the car.. but when we got to her house somehow her sister tried to park the car and the first thing she did was drive into the curb.. I heard it and I was like "ohhh ****k my wheel"(to myself) and so I got out an park the car myself..

Grrrrr, that would **** me off if it was the first blemish on my vehicle; but after a few you tend not to care as much. LOL! I said this to myself today as I was washing the 350 and see all of the previous owner's F-ups.
