If it bothers you get it fixed (or replaced).

Most repairs run $100-150, from what I've read. Depends on the extent of damage though.

Default I got worse scars on mine but not going to do anything about it, first because they are cheap and
they arent damaged structurely, ex: bend or out of shape. So u can fix it only if u really care about its cosmetics, but to do one wheel is like $100.

Default Collision insurance should cover it...
...but most people's deductibles are probably more than the repair cost. Also, it depends if aftermarket wheels are coverd.

Default thats what i was thinking, if you have a $250 deductible...
it would be well worth it for stock wheel repair.

Default I did that to my 1 month old BBS RkII's about 2 weeks ago...
I sent it to Wheel Collision Center for repair. $138 + S&H, should be getting the wheel back this week. The damage wasn't that bad but it bothered the hell out of me so I decided to have it fixed.
