Rather than make my own thread, I thought I'd bump up a related one.

The rim as a whole

Damage. You can see the actual metal/alloy/innerds the rim is made out of.

Small tire rip

1. Besides aesthetics, should I be worried about it? The ride still seems fine so I'm hoping alignment wasn't thrown off. Hoping it's not curbed or warped.
2. Worth it to fix the rim?
3. Would it even be possible to fix? This is a hefty chunk taken off the rim, not the usual scrape ackshun so I lost more than just paint.

I'm not worried (yet, knock on wood) about the tire since it's only a small tear and I believe there isn't any air leakage.

Yea man that's a stock wheel I wouldn't even care about it. If it bothers you that much knowing it's curbed, use it as an excuse to buy some aftermarket rims lol.
