Default Fixable or Not Fixable.... that is the question

K well i did something stupid this weekend, and i scraped my front and back rims on a curb cuz i was pulling outta the parking garage at work this weekend and was lookin at oncoming traffic and when i pulled out WHAM! I was like oooooooouch. So what i wanna know is looking at my pics on the link below... is this fixable/not fixable and if it is fixable generally how much would something like this cost??

Take a look here and let me know (sorry i dunno how to upload pics)

Im surprised you let it run along the curb that long.. Well anyways, its just a little curb rash, I wouldnt worry too much about it. For now, just put a tiny bit of clear coat on the scrapes to avoid rust (Im not too sure what these rims are made of or whether or not they would rust). But do it just in case. Also, now you can feel like the car is truley yours.

You have a cracked windshield, too? Man, that sucks.

Your wheels don't look too bad. I curbed my right front when parking and put a couple nice gouges in it. I only notice it when I'm ____ed off at myself.

that's nothing compare to what i have on my rims. just get over it, it's bond to happen, just can't avoid it.

I am not going to get low profile tires anymore. if i can, when the tires wear out, I will juse get the normal tires, big fat wall is what I need.

Oh no, see the cracked windshield occured on week 3 of owning the car, then got that replaced after waiting 2 weeks and then week 6 (now) is when i smacked the curb.. I'm only gonna get the rims fixed if its cheap enough, i just need to know how much something like that costs.. Anyone know??
