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

Fixable, 75-120 bucks.

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.
