curbed my stock 2013 sport wheels

I just curbed One of my front wheels tonight. Is it worth looking in to repair? I see I can get a new OEM one for about $210 from majestic Honda which is about half what I expected. Anyone have any experience with this? I suppose I could try to repair it myself but Idk that I would be able to make the paint look good. I feel like having it fixed professionally would cost as much as a new wheel.

Professional repair should be around $100.

That's not to bad. Would I go to a body shop for that?

A fit is not a show car. Put some clear coat on the curb rash so it won't corrode and get the new wheel or repair it when you're ready to trade it in.

Thanks man! I'll check them out. I've just been living with it for now since it's only cosmetic. Not sure which route I'm gonna take yet. I might be moving though, so it might wait until after i move.
