Default Clipped a curb

I am so bummed. I clipped a curb today and put about a 1/2 inch rash/grind mark on the wheel lip. I smoothed it out with my Dremel but there is still a discoloration. Does anyone know a good wheel repair guy in the Los Angeles area- it's just cosmetic not structural.

Argh... I did that too. I'm so **** about parking the car that I either have to be next to a curb, halfway on some lines, or 500 ft away from everything else

I been pretty good at parking for the past few months...but this past week was horrible..Curbed my right rear rim TWICE. 1 inch rash in 2 places..nearly invisible unless you know its there. I also had the music on so loud during parking that I could not hear the parking sensors and I was deep in some dumb thought and ran into a wall while parking. Lucky for me no damage to bumper...only to the clearbra I have. Ill have to get it redone cuz it looks ****ty when the clearbra has small tears in it, but I will wait until it has more.

I remember the horror of when I curbed my Work Eurolines, one by one. I think by the time I traded in my old GS, only one wheel was curb-free Still have to get them fixed.

Luckily I've avoided curbing my new GS. But I swear I end up parking about three feet from the curb each time I have to street park
