Arrghh some bastard in a car park was reversing out of their spot, not looking as i was coming up behind them..i slowed thinking they were gonna stop to let me in but they didnt so i had to swerve a little so they wouldnt hit me..i ended up hitting the gutter and now my front passenger side rim has a chunk out of it and scratches
How can i fix this? I dunno if theres anywhere here i can get it fixed either |

if its a bad scratch and a chunk taken out of it... i doubt you can fix it.... you might have to get your BF to get you a new wheel!

i was kinda hoping i wouldnt have to tell him...
its not a massive chunk..there were a few on the rim before i got the car but this one if a bit more noticable than the others.. my friend had her rim scratched and her dad fixed it by filing it down and painting it but i dont wanna cause more damage haha |

I guttered my rims in Balmain of all places. $140 bucks later they look brand new. Was done at a place in Sydney tho. Great guys but a bit exxy.

Well sorta in the same boat as you Jess but today the person in front had no brake lights and I slammed on the brakes and swerved to miss them and I hit the gutter and bent all my steering. My rim is non repairable.
