A couple of days ago, it was pouring rain out and I misjudged a curb while parking. I wound up scraping the outer edge of the factory alloy rim in two spots, each about 1-2 inches long, no more than about 1/8 inch thick. This was the left front wheel.It was more so just some scrapes on the area, not really gouged out. It did not affect the place where the rim meets the tire. The tire is also holding pressure. (I did scrape the tire too but there was no damage to the tire). The balance of the tire seems to be okay also. I think it is more so just a cosmetic issue than anything else. Should I do anything with it or just leave it as is??

Thanks for the advice in advance!!

Paul

You should be fine though. curb rash is not that big of a deal mechanically speaking.

Hey thanks for the responses!!Yeah, it would be nice to do an upgrade but $$ is the issue with that. Anyway, Since it is not that big of a deal, I will just live with it for now.

Thanks again!!
