Default Hit the rim and whacked the side mirror :(

So yeah, Im driving out of a parking lot in NYC and wacked the rim and side mirror along the side wall of the lot. I dont know why I thought I had more room, but I didnt . The front passenger ri has two pretty sizable gashes. Luckily, the mirror had NO scratches and just folded in. Anything I can do for the rim to mask the gashes?

Sorry to hear that, as for the rim I would look into a wheel repair shop and see what they can do for you. Usually your looking between $100-200 to have the rim fixed. When you get a chance can you post some pics?

I scratched both my front and rear on driver's side when I first got it going into a car wash.

Now I don't even care because I know I will get more due to curbs. I got quoted at $150/wheel to get it re-finished and I said why not spend money on new rims.
