Default I hit a curb

Hello

I hit a curb today and surely it did scuff my rims but also damaged my tire/tyre and I am not sure if I should replace the tire or not.

Can anyone please advise

I've attached a pic

Your tires looks OK, just a scuff.
Curb rash happens to everyone. I'm down 2 wheels now.

The rash is a easy fix. Can bring to a dealer, they may charge upwards of $99 per wheel. Depending on the dealership.

If you don't want to dish out money to get it fix, save it, and invest in a new set of rims. The fsport rims build quality is great, don't get me wrong. But I see alot of people complaining about the finish...paint stains, clear coat failure, chips easy. (I have a rock chip on my front rim, I don't even know how)

Here in Qatar we have good insurances and I pay almost 1000 USD as an insurance plan yearly. I will get it replaced at the dealership using my insurance.. thank god . It sucks to have a scratched rim specially when the car is still brand new. only 1500 miles.

Thank you all .
