I know of one curb rash that I caused on my right rear wheel. Over time (about 8 months now), I found that it really didn't bother me. I imagine some of that is because that wheel is on the side of the car that I don't normally "see" when getting in and out of it. You can always get it repaired in the future if you find that you can't live with it that way. What pisses me off more is the door ding my MIL put on my car...after I asked her to wait and let me help her with the door on her car that was parked next to mine...but that's a different story...

I disagree with people who say stocks aren't worth fixing. First most aftermarket wheels are cheaper and uglier than stocks, so why would you not want your stock wheels looking mint!

I get my wheels fixed the moment they get scratch, and fix even smaller scrapes than in your photo. My dealer fixed a scrape similar but smaller than the one in the photo for $70. Looks like new. The dealer uses an independent guy who comes to the dealership and does the fix.
