Default Scratched Rims

I am very very ****in pissed at myself. I took a left turn too fast and fishtailed on the slush. My rear rim bounced off the curb. Now its SCRATCHED!!!!!!!!! Its not too bad, you cant notice it from far but it pisses the hell out of my knowing I did it.

Is there a way to fix it or do i need to replace it?

Yes, it can be fixed. Talk to your Audi service center about where to go to have it repaired. For now, put your spare on - it's a full-size with the same rim as the rest

It costs a couple hundred bucks to refinish. How bad is it?

The car wash nailed one of mine about a month ago...my dealership charged me $150 to fix/repaint it.
