Parallel parking tonight and some a-hole came screaming around me...took my eye off the ball to see if he was going to hit my car... and backed my rear rim right into the f-ing curb...
I got out and walked down the street where he was parked...some idiot kid...if i had a baseball bat and i would have caved his window in....
Someone kicked a BIG dent in my car when I went to Chicago a few weekends ago. A month before that there was a huge hail storm which resulted in 80+ dents on every panel.
I feel your pain. I've curbed rims before too. Just be happy it's a rim that's replaceable and not a body panel! If you want to put a positive spin on it, time for new rims!
Take a look if it is polished aluminum or some other kind of polished metal you can probably fix it yourself. Also even if it is painted you can do it yourself. Link will be posted of how to do once I can find it cause it was on a Porsche forum. I have rashed rims before and fixed it myself and you can't even tel anymore.
Look for Wheel Fix It in the phone book or on the net. It is a franchise and can repair/refinish damaged rims. I ran into a curb and put a gash in my rim. Rim came back looking new.
that sucks...i had a little scratch on top on my left taillight..tried using that simons scratch remover pen..now i need to repaint the whole panel.. :-( :-(
