found a nice chunk of rim missing
well this sucks, i found on my driver's side front rim that there are two chunks taken out of it and i nice scratch on it too. Anyone know where there is a good shop around the philly area that can resurface it or should i just get a new one. How much are the new ones???? Very sad

thanks for all the info guys...since i have to keep the car for another 3 years anyway, maybe i should just wait until then. i don't know, we'll see. i was checking the rim out yesterday and the damage really isn't huge but enough to get on my nerves when i just wash it and it looks all pretty except for the rim. anyway, thanks for the help and have an excellent day!!1

Sorry to hear about your rim. BTW, my wife often gets TOO CLOSE to curbs and scrapes her wheels. I know what you mean about it pissing you off -- especially when you wash it and see it up close.
On her last car, I had to buy a new wheel 3 weeks after we got it because she knocked a curb and left a chunk out of the wheel I couldn't stand to look at. "Only" $275 -- they felt bad for me and gave me the dealership employee price.
I keep telling her, "don't try to get so close"! One day she'll listen.
