so my girlfriend was driving the X and she hit the curb took a little chip out of my rim she feels really bad and was wondering if there was any way to fix this without buying a whole new rim?

try JB Weld. Dries hard as a rock and you can probably paint over it. Its black though.

1. Take off rims.

2. Wash and dry rims.

3. Use 400 grit sandpaper and wipe clean.

4. Use primer.

5. Paint black.

:D

There are places all over that repair alloy rims. Just do a Google search for alloy wheel repair and include the nearest large city in your search string.

I'd be more worried about your alignment. As other say, look up a repair shop or just paint em black..

My stepdad had a guy come out and repair his rims one time, the guy just used a dremel with a few sanding/polishing attachments. If you have access to a dremel and the type of chip lends itself to this solution you could try that
