i scratched my rim:(

i was in burger king drive thru, and its a really tight spot and i guess i turned too early and hit the bottom lip on the curb. its not bent, but part of the lip is all ugly and jagged
what should i do? should i replace it or ignore it? i dont know where to get one, they came with the car.

i hit a curb and scrathed my driver front rim while making a left turn,
i was trying to stop my buddy rob from closing my run roof (he said the sun was too bright and hot) lol

its not big, and its not too noticable til u really look at it or i point it out, luckily nothing really happened to the rim or tire, but i just live with it, no big deal really
