Couple of days ago I was leaving a parking deck and just before I took the downslope ramp I hit the right sidecurb. Made a huge dent in my rightfront rim and even sliced part of the tire sidewall.
I also scraped the curb against the front-lip. I pressed it back in. Most of the damage for that is on the bottom. Just needs a little paint touchup. I'm not gonna replace the lip and wheelarch trim.

Dealer told me the tire can be driven, but not too long. So that needs replacing. And I also want to replace the rim.
Bridgestone Potenza 18" will costs me € 291,- and the rim is a whopping €435,-

Are these prices about what to expect ?
