I actually hit a curb when my Z had about 400 miles! It looked like someone took a hot knife to about 6 inches of the rim. Took it the "Rim Doctor" and you can't even tell. Trust me, those dudes can fix almost anything! Mine wasn't "curb rash" it was "curb ulcer" and they fixed that! No worries!

Classify mine as curb shot gun blast! There were actually small pieces of aluminum lying on the curb. I nearly threw up when I saw it.

Actually, it was a local Rim Doctor that came out to fix my rim. Awesome job.

Yeah that's an eternity walking around your car and seeing all the aluminum pieces. Mine had bits of rubber from the tire mixed in! I just stood there and thought "I'm going to wake up any minute now". Thank God for companies like that! a few years ago I probably would have assumed I needed to replace the whole rim!
