Ok, so today coming out of the shopping centre carpark I scrapped my rear left rim on the kerb. I’m worried because it looks really bad & is around most of the rim. There are a few deep spots of damage.. I wasn’t driving fast probably about 10kms p/hr

Not sure if it’s just really bad cosmetic damage or whether there would be damage to the tire and car?? What should I do & is it ok to drive with it like that ?

Ps. I’m a total noob when it comes to cars so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks enter image description here

    For whomever put a closed vote on this, it's technically not about tire health, but about the mechanical viability of the rim. While related, it's not the same thing.

The image doesn't show much details, but from what I can see there is no structural damage, just scratches.

As long as it's not dented, bent or cracked, you should be fine driving it.
