they should pay for them. make sure you complain and make them either refinish them or get them a new one.
this happend to me in a car wash... they paid for the problem

i have pictures to prove it. can i do ne thing? i filled out a claim
I valeted back in high school, usually when the driver gets the keys they list if there are any damages to the car already.
So maybe you could be in luck, if they use that system.
Good Luck cause its basically your word versus theirs.
And most of the time the insurance companies favor the big business over the little man.

If you didnt complain about it when you got your car back your S.O.L.

i did complan and talk to a manager. how much does it cost to refinish a rim?. how much should i be asking for? what is reasonable. damage is about an inch. again i have pictures to prove they hit the curb. red paint to match their red sidewalks.
Of course, if you have separate wheel and tire insurance then by all means, make a claim. But even if your regular auto policy covers that kind of damage, don't claim against that kind of policy.

Good luck, Ive had friends that had similar problems and its always a headache. Get a new rim if you can, refinishing should only be when its coming outa your pocket.
Definately try complaining to the valet company, and if that doesnt work make a big stink at the resturant because they will be the ones concerned about customer satisfaction.

I had the a similar situation. They dinged my door, a deep deep dent.
Luckily my g/f saw it before we left the wedding and filed a claim through them. It was such a hassle, but they paid for it and took a week to take care of.
Good luck. Make sure u take plenty of pics and keep bothering them till they pay!

If I remember right, your IForged wheels have a chrome lip so you can't just take them to any wheel repair shop.
PM members SoCalBimmer or Macfly and see where they got their wheels fixed, boht curbed a wheel earlier this year. Member Macfly's wheel was also curbed by a valet..so you can pm him to see how he handled it....
