Just curbed my wheel

[Yellow Dave]

Was just pulling up to a house for work, and one of the curb stones wasn't straight and I caught the corner that was sticking out. To say I was a little p!ss*d is an understatement. I've been driving 8 years and it's the first time I've done it.

Luckily it's only caught one spoke of the standard 182 cup'd wheels, but theirs 4 to 6 scratch/ grooves about 2" up from the edge of the rim.

Does anyone know if it's possible to refurb/ patch up just the affected area, or will the whole wheel need a complete refurb?
Is there any risk of it starting to corrode if I don't get it sealed.

I would post a pic but don't want to embarass myself any further :dapprove:

Dave picture of damage may help but regardless - nip to halfords get some rover stone grey! rub the area down and you can flash the area in! all will be good as new! ive repaired a few wheels in my time as most of my 182 have had some little mark out of them! i dont want to blow my own trumpet but i had a garage carry out the work on my first 182 and the paint came off in a few weeks wish was really upsetting! has never happened with the work ive carried out! and i got a better match! its all about taking your time!!!

Get a pic up mate.... but there smart repair guys are pretty handy, i'm sure they can make it so that only you will ever know about it, saves you having to do the whole wheel!
