Hi, I'm an idiot
I have had my 8 for two weeks. Everything is great, couldn't be happier with this car.
I did something totally stupid today though. While parking, I hit the curb ever so slightly, and now there is a half inch scrape on my front passenger rim. ARRHHGGG!!!
I have been so carefull with everything, and today, just f@#cked up. DOH!
This is the first car where I have had nice rims (other than a 4x4). Any ideas on how to fix the scrape? Other than buying new wheels?

aluminum is pretty easy to work with actually...they make a special "wheel putty" that you can use as filler and then paint and clear over the damage.
or just use it as an excuse to buy some volks

Yeah, it's a little chewed up, so a little wet sanding may be the thing, then some touch up. It's not that bad, but I know it's there and it bothers me.

Yes the wife just curbed the two passenger side rims on the Mazda 6. Its her car but I am pretty **** about the cars so she gave the ok to order new rims. Man my eyes hurt for searching for new rims and comparing prices!
