    Google "alloy rim repair". There are shops that can repair alloy rims, repairs as simple as cleaning up curb rash to straightening and restoring severely damaged rims. Typically $100-150.

    I loaned my son my my 350Z for a week so he and his wife could take a "second honeymoon". When he brought it back, he said the steering vibrates starting around 80 mph. I took it to my alignement shop, and they showed me where the rim was bent (on the inside). I took to a shop called RimGuard, and they straightened and balanced it-$125. It drives like new.

    This is my opinion also. I never loan out a vehicle or borrow one if a little curb rash is gonna be an issue. Now, big dents is another issue....:D

    neglect, mostly.
    everybody's making a big deal out of nothing man. so what, its a SRT8 charger. he's probably got what, 40, 45k in it? thats chump change. so look, just walk in the garage, grab a piece of sand paper and go to town on the other 3. he'll never notice if theyre all like that.

    I know sad isn't it? In my defense it was dark and.....Oh whatever; I F'D up. It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last!

    On a side note, that car is a blast to drive. The best thing about driving that car besides the fact that it overpowers just about every other car on the road is the exhaust! My brother installed exhaust cutouts, so when you're on it, you hear it! Not only that; they're motorized! Push a button and hold it for a second or two and the car is nice and quiet! It was nice driving a v8 again. I'm psyched for my other project now, a 5.0 ford fox chassis car!

    LOL, yeah hope OP had time to beat on Bro's car for a while and vise versa probably dumped the taco a couple times. And dumping the exhaust..does it gain HP probably not just annoying loud noise while we whip by in the new 5.0 stang.. later

    Ouch! :eek: But shit happens. It's probably just another thing messed up in a long line of messing each others stuff up if you're like me and my brother! I let him use my apartment and my car once when I was in Jamaica for a couple of months. He lost a $200 frog of mine (serisously, don't even ask how that happened) and took the Drivers side mirror and some paint off my new T-Bird. Again, Shit happens. We laugh about it now. Not so much then, but now.

    OP, you really need to look for a company in your area that does rim repair. Judging by the picture, the rash looks very minor and shouldn't be very costly or time consuming to fix. For what it's worth, my mother did the same thing to her AMG wheels on her Mercedes and I took the car into a local rim shop and they fixed two wheels for about $275 if I remember correctly.

    Actually my brother is a driving enthusiast and knows that I like to drive fast once in a while. He even told me to turn off the traction control but not to do the permanent turnoff procedure while in park just in case. As for the exhaust dumps, I want them for my sleeper 5.0 project. And I gotta say I'm gonna have to work that motor or put a power adder to keep with that 6.1 liter hemi.
