Default Need help, kissed the curb and scratced the rim

Yep! Did the stupidest thing on my way home, Really tired after a long day, and just wanted to see how closely I can hug the corner and rubbed my passenger side rear rims on the curb

Do any of you guys know where I can get it fixed in Dayton OHIO, Wheels of america is nowhere close. It barely caught the curb, rims are not bent just got scratched pretty bad at a couple of spots. It is stock C4S wheels. Any help is greatly appreciated. (I am a F@#$%n idiot).

Call around. Mercedes, Lexus and Porsche dealers usually use ONE guy to do this on site. Find the name and call him up. Could be under $100/wheel for this depending on damage, and it's done on the car.

Otherwise, a Porsche-aware body shop can fix.

Call Beechmont Porsche in Cincy and ask for David Profitt. They use someone who charges $65 per wheel if I remember correctly. Supposedly does good work. Maybe some Cincy guys on here will respond as well.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll try my local dealer or david proffit. Good to hear that it's an inexpensive fix.
There is a glitch in my computer viewing this thread. It did not show any replies to my question and yet when i added my last thread it displays the three postings. I opened another window and I tried it again, and see 0 replies ???
