Unhappy (Help) Wife + Rims + Drive Through = FAIL (Pics)

These are bad pictures and I will get some more at daylight, however I am weighing what my options are. I have never damaged lips like this in my life, so I have no experience in this and I am not sure what is appropriate. Tires stayed inflated, but I cant tell if I should replace them. I cant even find these wheels for sale online anymore as takeoffs.... Any direction or ideas appreciated.

From here it just looks like a very nasty scuff, and shouldn't effect your air pressure.
Time to find a new wife

I would take it to a wheel and tire place. Like the other guy said they can clean it up so its not so bad. New rims wouldnt be real cheap. But I've seen those for sale on Ebay if you have the money for them. And It doesnt look nearly bad enough to have affected the tire in any real manner. The damage seems all cosmetic to me.

That's minor. Any wheel repair place can fix that no biggie.

Around here that would cost about $150 at the very most to repair and you'd never be able to tell it was damaged.
