Let's be real here. Your wife and kid didn't get in an accident, your car didn't get totaled, there's just some curb rash on a wheel that can be refinished for maybe 500 or less. Don't get so worked up over material things. MUCH worse happens to people all around the world. First world problems to the max!!!!

37+ years of marriage, I live by one motto
Happy Wife = Happy Life. Just quietly get the wheel repaired, and even more gently inform her that she only drives her car. Expensive toys get broken every now and then, "it" happens be careful or the next thing out of her might be - "me or the car, your choice"

It's all good everyone! I'm not that "DUDE" it's just material things that can be fixed or replaced. I'm just bummed and the family's safety is always first! I can laugh about it now!

that's what i forgot to mention. they did tell me they would take the wheel apart since it is a 3 piece forged wheel and if they can't repair the lip it can be replaced. i'll find out more once he receives the pictures and the wheel itself.

It actually looks pretty bad, sorry to see that.
That said, I still stand by my initial (post #7) advice. Older I get, it gets easier to just file things under "oh well, sometimes s... just happens". Worst case scenario, you have to buy new rim, so be it, stings a bit now, but you'll get over it soon. |

To follow up on my previous advice, once you've repaired it, make sure you wife drives the car again, just to show her how much you love and trust her. I know it'll be incredibly hard, but, potential payback on the long run... lol... imagine the possibilities, sky is the limit. |

Curb the other 4. Call it Time Attack edition?
Serious note I know how you feel man. My wife curved not one but 2 of my Magnesium Blue TE37s I use to have while backing the car up. |

Ouch... it hurts looking at those images!
I don't know if it was an accident looks more like she got tired of competing with your mistress always clean and polished and probably always getting gifts (upgrades). : Good luck man! Maybe this is the perfect time to buy a new set of rims? Hahaha |

My wife doesn't ever drive my Bimmer but she sure does drive her Mercedes into the side of the garage or the minivan onto whatever the hell else she decided to run into. I think I'm safe because we have 5 cars and two are for her to drive, the Odyssey and the Mercedes GL.

Here you go! My wife just overflowed the deep sink in our upstairs laundry.
I think you're doing a little better than I!

They just add material and paint. Now it is like a new one, I can't find where it was damaged
