Same thing happend to me, not even a week old and my bro curbed the rear passanger rim. Doesn't look bent, but have a pretty long scrape on the outer lip. Wondering if it is possible to somehow machine sand it and repolish.

Bring it to a place that can repair rims.
It can be done; as long as the damage is minor and on the outside not towards center of rim...

WTF are you people doing to curb your rims? Why are you all trying to get so close to the curb?
