If it is real bad you can get a shop to fix it for you. If not too bad you might get some light sanding materials and try to smooth it out and then polish.

trdsparks.com used to sell "Take Off" wheels. Ex.; tC was shipped with factory wheels, customer decided to get the Enkei "Upgraded Wheel Package". So the dealer had to "take off" the factory wheels. Nothing is wrong with them. If you were to get a "Take Off" wheel, you could use the dinged one for a full-sized spare.

I have four curbed wheels. It's not that I suck at driving (that much), rather that I kept curbing the passenger side wheel when I first got my tC, by parking way too close to the curb. Rotate tires, repeat.

Anyway, I feel your pain. The first three times I freaked out. Now, I'm looking foreward to getting new wheels.

If it really bugs you that much, though, it would be about as cheap, and faster, to grab a wheel off eBay and just have it put on next time you have your tires rotated.

You can go to www.autopia.org to get info about fixing the wheels. They have tutorials on how to fix about any cosmetic damage you can think of. The actual article to repair rims is here: http://www.guidetodetailing.com/arti...p?articleId=30
