repairable....

if they can fix cracked rims i think they can fix curb rash.,...

i myself ....am looking for a place to polish my lips and fix some very minimal rash i got when my son tipped a rim over and it landed face first.

You can actually get a set of wheels from eBay for like $250 right now. There are a couple dealerships selling takeoffs.

I may end up picking up a set for some winter wheels to have some tires put on them.

Many areas have services that specialize in rim repair. I'm actually having a guy come by my house today to repair curb rash on mine. I got his number from the Scion dealership. Try calling the dealer who sold your car or maybe a collision place.
