Ouch! Sorry to see that. The good news is there are wheel refinishers who apparently can sand & airbrush it so it will look like new--they'll even come to your house/work to do it. Car dealers use them all the time with used cars, so I'd suggest speaking to your dealer to see who they use.
Funny Seinfeld reference.
I've got a Seinfeld season pass on TiVo, and even though I've seen every episode several times, it never gets old.

Thanks guys -- I'm checking a tire shop a fellow forum recommended in another thread I posted months ago when I got a flat and had to have one run-flat replaced. Will have to call them tommorrow, it's too late now.
As for the valve stem caps, they can not be stolen. You can turn and turn and turn but it won't come off without the key. It's a pretty ingenious design. I got them at the dealer so I'm not sure what they're called or who makes them.
