'14 CLS curb rash
I scraped my driver's side front wheel today entering my parking garage 
. I immediately made an appointment and dropped the car at the dealer to repair the wheel. My car is roughly a month old and this is the first blemish, so i'm a bit worried about how the wheel will look after being repaired. The scratch is pretty shallow. Do you guys think the repaired wheel will look any different ?

I'm really sorry to hear that.
Not a problem tho, I see wheels with chunks missing and really bad curb rash all around the lip get repaired and it looks brand new! You can't even tell it was damaged.
You will be fine, not to worry

I hope you guys are right . Even though the damage isn't very bad, it was painful since this was the first scrape/scratch that I put on it. I guess it had to happen eventually

Getting the first ding out of the way quickly is best, IMO. You no longer have to drive around so paranoid about the first bruise on your car.
