Help! Scraped rim against curb

My perfect rims are no more perfect. I scraped my right front wheel on a curb the other day trying to parallel park.....The scrape is on the outer edge and is about 10 inches....Not extremely visible unless u look close, but still it's really bugging me....Anyone know of a rim repair shop in MD that does good work? how much could this run me?

if its in no danger of rusting or anything like that, let it accumulate a couple more scratches (youre bound to get one!) and take it in to get it fixed all at once!

nah. nowadays, they can repair the damaged rims to like new condition. A year ago, I had an accident and brought my car to a body shop. they repaired the damages and also fixed the scratches on all four rims. Today, the rims still look perfect.

yeah I would like to know where to fix too. Well I did not get the scratch from parking. The sratch is about 2 inches on one of the spokes on the driver's side front. I guess is from those little rocks on freeway.

Wheel Worx in Millersville they do great work and quick turnaround. They serve the great Baltimore/Washington area. Good Luck
