Don't you fret. If you call the dealer I'm sure they will give you the number of the guy that repairs the rims on the cars they get as trade ins. My F sports were repaired and they did an excellent job. I asked for his number and they gave it to me (for future reference) but I think I threw it out by accident.

You'll be okay, don't worry.

I know how you feel, bro. I got my rims installed a couple of weeks ago and my dad took it for a drive and hit the curb! Scraped a nice chunk off of it too.

I feel you man. I did hit a curb too when I first got my Works for a week. It definitely sucks. And it wasn't just a light scratch I literally hit it to a curb I could hear a BAM. Very lucky it didn't bent like I thought it would. Works durability ftw.

I've also been to Rite Way and they're great! I think you're in the South bay and there is Wheel Techniques I think in Santa Clara. They're good too!
