OMG curb rash on my new 13 Limited!
So what do I do now? Left front 22" wheel now ruined :-( I'm just sick! Any idea if I can turn into insurance and or repair? Will it ever be the same? Thx,

I did not get the wheel/tire insurance at check out.
There are wheel shops that specialize in wheel restoration. The rash can be sanded and reprinted. So you will be out a few hundred, then it will look fine again. If you wait until all the wheel rims get bunged up, and need tires, get new tires and refinished rims in any color at the same time.

How bad is the wheel? Are there chunks of aluminum missing in the scratch?
Watch your tires sidewall and check for bubbles. If you see a bubble you need to get a new tire ASAP.

Pretty sure this would fall under your comprehensive insurance coverage. With all the risks inherent to making a claim attached.

In the old days, there was no way you could scuff a rim on the curb. The tires stuck out past the rim enough to protect the rim. Most new wheel designs suck, in this regard.

Congratulations. Now your truck is officially a used truck. It's worth nearly the same as if you hadn't marked the wheel.
Get it fixed and move on... at least it wasn't stolen.
