This is NOT my week
While washing the C7's prior to putting them back on the car, I dropped one face down on the driveway. It has chips in three of the seven spokes. Then I discovered another wheel with several rock chips.
Addiing the wheel I chipped last fall (when I misjugded a curb by about an eighth of an inch), I have three chipped C7's, possibly two bent Mille Miglia mm11-2's and maybe some front suspension damage.

I know the feeling, flopped one of my C7's on the grass to wash it (what could be safer, right?)...right on top of a rock. Doh!

At least when you replace them, you can get the wider ones like Voyager Dude did
I have the same winter rims as you...although mine seen less snow than the C7's did.:p

No that doesn't suck... My daughter dropped my new twin spoke AMG same way, face down while cleaning.
No wait, that still doesn't suck.
I took it to dealer which said they'd refinish it, well they had some monkey with a can of spray paint try. Unacceptable.
No wait, still doesn't suck.
Then took it back.. Sorry sir, we'll get it right. Same monkey, more spray paint.
No wait...
Ok, it's there again, this time I said complete redo - new vendor - or you buy me a new wheel.
We'll see.
Ok, here's the part that sucks...
We are finally in warm weather again and I am driving on snows!!!
