Ripped the shite out of a 215 rim
 
so tired this morning on way to work
pulled into the kerb and s-c-r-a-p-e
ripped about 20% of the edge off a 215 rim

Does anyone know if these can be polished up?
I havent actually hit any of the internal of the rim, just the outer edge

If I cant fix it, its another expense to incur next week!

We did something very similar on our Z8 Alpina...the day we bought it and brought her home. The same day!!! :(

We had it repaired at the BMW dealership, and it cost about $150.00 USD. The dealership said most luxury car dealers use wheel repair services, so they can sell high end pre-owned cars that have little or no blemishes. It can be done. We can't even see where it was repaired. Sorry, and Good Luck!!
