Lesson Learned!! What is a front rim gonna cost me??
Scratched the snot out of my left front lip pulling up next to a Post Office box to drop off some bills...saw the little 2-3" curb but it bit me.
Any suggestions or ideas to keep the cost down?? Can't live with it. |

Depending on the severity of the damage the wheel can be fixed, offers a less costly option. Did the same to one of my V wheels, easy 1k+ wheel. Had it fixed, looked good as new.

I'm getting a new rear 1LE wheel from ThatGMpartsguy for about $600 shipped since I did pretty much the same thing yesterday leaving work. Shouldn't be much more than that for a ZL1 wheel.

Yes, mine was much worse. Any good reputable wheel repair shop should be able to tackle that.

I have fixed Wheels my self much worse than that. Your issue will be getting it painted. That isnt a big deal, but good luck. Fix it

I had a front camera installed, works great. Shows exactly where the front end is. And if you back up the back camera overrides.

I rubbed mine pretty bad, and had a deeper cut than what yours looks like. Had mine fixed for 110 and I cant even find where the scratch was.

That is completely fixable. Find a good repair shop, shouldn't be more than $200. And that should be a tire off, completely sanded and powder coated wheel. The cheap "touch up" repairs that typically cost about $75 isn't worth it. They sand the damaged area and spray it to match the rest of the wheel all without taking the wheel off.
