Scratched rim, is this bad?

[waittoolong]

Hi, I must suck at it, scratched MY left rear rim. How bad is this? Costmetic, can continue driving?

Thanks

Totally cosmetic. Remove the wheel cover, clean it up a bit, reattach the wheel cover, then wait for another wheel to get curbed and have them touched up. Cosmetic damage isn't terribly expensive to repair.

Don’t feel bad - that’s nothing! And it’s not a high end wheel anyways.

I thought the Geminis didn’t get curbed?

That is actually very minor. There are places that repair alloy wheels and can make it look like nothing ever happened for less than $200. Totally safe to continue driving.

HAHAHA! The OEM ContiPros protect the Gemini wheel better than the replacement (OEM size) Michelin Pilot Sport S 4 A/S. The rims stick out so far I'm wondering if I should have put on a 50 instead of a 45!

Thank you guys. I was pretty confident about my driving skills until Tesla...

Now need find some time to watch repair videos.

HAHA! You drove cars that were never curbed??? Which cars? HAHA!

Maybe hit side of tire once or twice, never rim. Optical perception is off on MY for me. Also rim seems stick out more on Tesla.

Where is the poll? My vote would be that the car is totaled

Had the same happen to me. Almost bought a new one but instead I had it repaired for $150.00.
It looks brand new.
Ask your service center who they use for repair.
