check with your dealer for mobile shops. they usually have a contractor do their customer cars.

I had a curbed rim repaired at my local Rim Guard franchise.

Mobile Rim Repair in Raleigh, NC | Kwicksilver Rim Repair

$125 and it looks like new.

There's probably a Rim Guard franchise or similar near you. Do a search "rim repair" + [your town] or check the Yellow Pages for an outfit near you. I was sick when it happened to me. Hadn't ever thought that there were outfits that did that sort of thing. I just made an appointment to go to their shop. They would have come to me with a mobile unit if I wanted. It only took about an hour and when they were done you couldn't figure out which, if any, wheel had been curbed.

They do a lot of work for new and used car dealers. I'm sure a lot of new cars get sold without the buyer ever knowing that their new car had been curbed on the dealer's lot, in transit or on a test drive.

I took my 19" Sport Rays to get repaired and powdercoated at USA WHEELS in Fairfield. They are superbusy though, so you may want to call ahead.

I think I paid $560ish for all 4 wheels.

Call a few dealers, ask who fixes rims on trade-ins. They will have "a guy" that does it. Call this guy and see if he'll fix yours.

I recently got a hold of the guy that does jobs for several local dealerships. Planned to meet him one morning at a local dealership (not even a Nissan). Took him all of 15 minutes and $50 to completely fix about 8" of light curb rash on the lip of a rear rim.

If you're close to Philly, I would recommend WheelsAmerica.com I've used them here in San Antonio to repair curb rash on my 19" Rays and they did an amazing job for only $130.

I am sorry to hear that...

Thank you all for your help. It turns out I had also scratched the bottom of my bumper. Now I have two things to repair. I should go back to that location and kick that curb out of existence.
