Brand new 2015 ML 350 heartache!

We have a beautiful 2015 steel gray ML350 that is exactly 2 weeks old. She is gorgeous! This AM I noticed something that made my heart stop! CURB RASH! Don't know how it could have happened as the tire doesn't have any scuff marks at all. Could it have been there all the time and I never noticed it? I have sent a message to my dealer to see if they can help? Any recommendations would be appreciated

Fear not! Rejoice! It can be repaired as good as new. Your dealer has a place to send the wheel to for a complete repair or he can exchange it for an already repaired one. I prefer to have my own wheel repaired since you know how minor the damage was to begin with.

For example, this national outfit (Click Locations): http://www.wheelsamerica.com/Index.php

That's nothing, it's amazing how they can fix wheels now. I was trying to avoid somebody in a small parking lot and caught the corner of a curb, it sounded so bad that I couldn't even get out and look at it for a few minutes... $125 and it's good as new. Sure beats the $950 MB wants for a new rim.

Thanks guys! That makes me feel much better. The dealership is going to do it for me for free as a courtesy! I will update once this is done.

I have the tire/wheel protection package. Have had several tires and one wheel replaced at no charge.
