Goto a "wheel" shop-- a lot of times, the dealers use a "mobile" guy that'll come to your work (or if you drop it off at the dealership). I was AMAZED at how good a job these guys can do to repair curb rash.

^^ Yeah, I've seen some of these guys do amazing work!
Is the damage really bad?
If so, there are always people selling OEM rims (to offset their expenses on new rims).

it's not that bad - it's just a scratch on the lip. is that a curb rash? but it's about 1 1/2 inches long. do you know how much they charge at the wheel shops to fix it up?

I've done the same to 3 out of my 4 rims. The car seems to have a deceptively wide wheel base. Couple that with the fact that I try to park closer to the curbs and farther away from the car next to me, and I'm always "feeling" the curbs.
