lol i dont see the pic but you dont have to tell me about curb check. everyone of my rims are shot. thers a few shops around here that charge like 80 bones per rim to repair. i want to try and just bondo, sand and paint and see whatl happen but i think the filler will fall out with all the abuse the rims take.

chrome is a bitch too, thats like an extra 100 for just a chroming

honestly im in the same boat. im not sure how keen you are on your stock rims but to me. its not worth fixing if your gona end up doing aftermarket any way. just keep them as back ups or winter rims and tires. because if i were you id want to upgrade any way

50k of driving in my Cobalt (almost all of which was on aftermarket wheels, I had 18" Enkei WDMs before the 19"s) and i've never hit a curb. In fact, this is my 4th car and i've never hit a curb in any of them.
