Default How bad is this curb rash?

Hello fellow Audi drivers,


I accidentally hit a curb today, resulting in a curb rash on my wheel. I'd like to ask for your opinions on:

1. Whether the damage is dangerous to the wheel overtime.
2. Whether the damage is easily fixable.

Thank you very much for your inputs!

Regards,


alucius

Rim does not look bent. Not dangerous, easily fixed. Don't sweat it.

dr bryan is right. If you have no vibration then the chances are with you that the wheel is not bent. Most cities have wheel shops than can file down the rash and repaint the wheel if you want. Best to go to a local regional forum for recommendations (I can give you one for Denver) and there are some national places too, but that means shipping the wheel off for a week or two.
