i am the angriest person alive
ive been so careful since i got my rims (2 months ago)
and yesterday i was downtown
and i didnt see this low curb
and mashed the two rims up on the passenger side of the vehicle
can anyone recommend a place in Vancouver Canada which does rim repair?
Ive seen pictures on the net and it looks like mine will be able to be fixed but I am woried about the finish if they can reporduce it becuase i have the Diamand Edition Carlsson 1/6.

It should be easy to repair. The lips on the carlsson diamond are polished, which is very easy to fix.
You need to find a good wheel repair shop. It shouldn't be that expensive; $50-100 per wheel. More if they have to disassemble the wheel.

You might be SOL but give Green's a try as I think they are one of the only ones in your area that are able to do the work (they are at least one of the more recognizable and reputable shops).
Man I hope I don't do the same to mine. I know this hurts but post pics on how bad the damage is.

I recently did that to the right front rim of my car, ran it into a damned sewage drainage inlet thingy. F***ed the rim over all around, But mine are Alluminum alloy. My dealership has a guy that does it for 55 bucks.. I also took a little chunk of tire from the outisde edge, how bad is that?...
( i am only 16 so i don't know a whole lot about cars and what they can take... and last time i posted that i was 16 and i knew nothing about cars i got yelled at for stereotyping that only kids know nothing... that's not what i am going at this time. )
