I had curb rash on my rim as well not paying attention making a turn. Took it to the dealership and I'm pretty sure they sent it off to Wheels America, got it back the next day. For $175 the rim looked brand new... I couldn't even tell where it was damaged. Probably would have been cheaper sending it to Wheels America direct to avoid the dealership markup, but oh well.

My dealer used Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, who employee a mobile unit dispatched to each facility, when they refinished my wheels due to the finish being eaten up by brake dust. The wheels came out in as new condition and I haven't had a problem since.
