My gilrlfriends mother didn't want to wake me up to move my car so she moved it herself and dragged my 18" ALT 190's (Both on the passenger side!) across the curb. Is it possible to get them fixed? If it is possible will it cost more than just buying new ones? I can buy them for $188 each.

ouch... that will teach you to keep your key's in your pocket ..... J/k bro I feel your pain it all depends on how bad they are but more than likley you will need to replace them if you want them perfect

Do I just take them to a regular body shop to get a repair quote or do you have to take them someplace else to get 'em fixed? As much as I'd like to have someone else pay for them (the g/f's mother) I just can't find it in my heart to ask - it was her birthday when she did it (Saturday) and they had a pipe burst in their house and it was raining for most of the day (she had a party outside) so she had a pretty lousy day. The scratches are about 6 inches long around the edge of the wheel where it meets the tire. The spokes are fine but the area she got is ground up pretty good.

your going to have to take them to a wheel specialist..... I don't know I have never seen anything good come out of a curb check to be honest with you get them powder coated it should conceal most of the curb check ...
