curbed wheel

My dumbass just scraped a wheel for the first time in my life. I almost fainted when i heard that sound!
Can this get repaired? The scrape was done at like 1mph,not even that.
I have HUGE anxiety that i might have broken something else besides the wheel,probably not but as i said i am really scared,can someone calm me out?

Yes, this is easily repairable. Take it to any wheel repair shop, and it'll be as good as new.

I highly doubt it. Looks like mild curb rash.

I understand the sentiment, but the harsh reality is you'll probably suffer damage more serious than this eventually. You didn't pay all this money to be anxious, so try to worry less and just enjoy it. Cars are consumables at the end of the day!

Easy easy repair. For $150 you’ll never know it had even happened.

I'm of the view that thats not enough to knock your car out of alignment.

I understand your feeling and always hate stuff like that happening. Don't worry, this is really minor and easy repair, and your car is fine.

First, you should never talk negatively about yourself. Good people make mistakes too.

I've curbed 2 of my wheels but luckily have the wheel and tire insurance so it was covered by the dealership.

My wife's car gets tons of curb rash on the wheels and we have them repaired once a year for about $150 a wheel.
