Well, being tired for too long can produce mistakes. I've been working full time and taking two classes and staying on campus until 9 or 10pm every weeknight in the lab to get projects completed for the past 3 weeks. I'll blame this misjudgment on that. I misjudged a right turn coming out of a parking lot and ran the two right tires up on a curb. The cowl hood didn't help the situation.

Well, the front tire got away unscathed. It's the back right that got about 4 inches of curb rash around the outer lip of the wheel. I'm so mad with myself I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror.

I'll have a pic or two tomorrow after work when it gets daylight again.

My question is this: how much would a curb rash (and a very small shallow chunk of tire missing; a little less than the size of a quarter) hurt the value of my car?

Thanks, I'm going to go continue to hate myself.

Since the damage was to the rims and not the car, I'm going to say the impact on the value of your car is minimally affected... Are you considering selling the car or trading it in? Is that the reason for the concern in value?

As cheap as the AM wheels are if you are that concerned about it hurting value, buy another wheel although I doubt it will hurt the value $150.

I dont think its gonna hurt it at all. Now if you had it everywhere...that would be a different story.

I plan on selling/trading early in 2013 for a used 2012 5.0 which is why I have the question about the decrease in value. I've already ordered a free AM catalog for the '11-'12s haha.

Redfire, that was what I was thinking, they're 18x10s at $160/wheel

Sorry to hear dude, it's not that bad, like Redfire said, it's as simple as changing the rim.

It's okay, I JUST got my rear bumper/quarter panel repaired,
then I busted a rim.
Just got my new wheel,
and I put a huge dent in my door, 600+ bucks to repair.

June sucks.
