relax, it happens. be happy someone didn't hit your car. they are the OEM wheels, if you were to sell them you'd have to take 100 bucks off your price tops. don't be too hard on yourself.

Now you have a good excuse to treat yourself to a really nice set of wheels of your choosing, and you have a good winter set that has character now.

I totally understand -- if you feel responsible, the deed feels regrettable as it (theoretically) could have been avoided.

On the bright side, it sounds like pretty minor damage (pic?), so don't kick yourself too hard over it.

I'd rather it be me than someone else that does damage to my car honestly. I can stand being mad at myself for doing something stupid but when its someone else that I have to be mad at it feels horrible. Especially if you never find out who it was, then you just go around being mad at the world.

don't be too hard on yourself, this happen to me too a couple months ago. you can always get a good rim repairer to fix it. Just be glad to be fortunate to own such a beautiful car.
