Scratched up front passenger rim...

So I made a sharp turn and the front passenger rim grinded against curb, not the part of the rim is all chipped up. What do these run to fix? Its not really that bad, maybe im picky.

Pedestrian problem

Must be the season, I swerved to miss an absent minded pedestrian (he ran across the on-ramp straight at me), I hit the curb and scuffed both front and rear wheels I guess it is a small price to pay! Of course here in Hawaii is seems like the pedestrians will cross when and where they want. This one was (is) old enough to know better!

i smashed 2 SSR wheels in Malibu years ago when an old fart darted across
the canyon roads without looking. had to swirve to miss him but ended up
going over a canyon rock that was on the road of a size of a family-size
kleenex box. $1,000 poof!

if the ******* isn't too deep, you might be able to sand it down to
make it look better.

otherwise, get it fixed professionally or use some spot bondo and paint it.
