haha We may not have many women on this forum, but the few that are here.. 
To be honest it's just a wheel..maybe getting a silver wheel would be better for your wife and less headache for you.
On the bright side, she didn't crack the wheel.

My wife did the exact same thing to a new 20" wheel, ALL THE WAY AROUND, with chunks of asphalt sill imbeded in the wheel.
I had to realize that she didn't feel the same way about the car as I did.
Fixing the wheel or replacing it is a LOT better than holding a grudge.
Fix the wheel
Keep the wife.

I bought the car for my wife because she wanted something more sporty than her Tahoe. Mind you... I bought the tahoe so that my wife could beat the piss out of it and well... it was still a tahoe at the end of the day.
She didn't like the stock wheels, so I bought some matte black Forgestar F14s and put some new shoes on the car. 24 hours later I walk out into the garage and see a nice silver lining around the rim where it used to be black as well as multiple chunks missing from the rim. After going back inside and freaking the &%$@ out about the brand new wheel being ruined, she tells me that she made a U-turn and accidently curb checked the wheel the ENTIRE WAY AROUND THE U-TURN. So she basically turned, heard the rubbing/scrapping/screaming of the wheel and continued through her U-turn and carried on her merry way.
Being as how the car is black/black the silver curb rash is extremely nasty to look at.
Question --- do I replace the rim for her? Or just deal with the fact that her driving it is going to cause issues and leave it alone because she'll probably do it again soon enough?
I'm a huge fan of keeping everything good looking and not all jacked up....
Ugh...

this was such an awesome comment - I almost went "well, you can curb rash MY rims any time!" 
but then I remembered you had mentioned you're married... so I just hope your hubby punishes you properly for saying that!

I hate to agree, but I was thinking the same thing.
Not all, but a lot of women aren't as careful about their cars. I wouldn't have bought expensive wheels in the first place for the wife's car. She would have gotten some cheap no name cast wheels that looked good and slapped them on the car lol.
I'd expect them to get curbed within due time
