Curb Rash...first post as well

What's going on guys. I've been checking out these forums for a while and gathering information and overall just researching the car until about two weeks ago when I finally purchased a 2008 G37 S Coupe. It's been a long time coming and I love the car. Any questions I have had thus far have been answered. However I got a bit of curb rash today when parking near a local bank. It wasn't a really high curb so it's mostly along the edge of the OEM 19" rim. Any steps I could take to kind fix that damage, or should I just give up and search the internet for a OEM front rim? Sorry if this has been frequently asked. Thanks in advance.

Can't help with the curb rash. Get some little 2" blind spot mirrors to put in the lower outside corners of the regular mirrors. These help you see exactly where you are relative the curb, and to see cars in your blind spot.

Definitely don't need to search for a new wheel. Any wheel repair shop can strip it snd re-paint it like it was brand new for about 150 bucks.

Take it to a wheel shop, or even ask your local infinti dealer. They have those guys in the trucks come to their lots and do it all the time. Did mine for $90 a wheel. Came out perfect. He can even make it a brighter or darker silver since in my experience, infiniti hyper silver is hard to match
