That doesn't look structural, not so bad in my opinion. I would recommend touching it up and moving south, far south. In North Florida today it was high 70s... clayed the car today, Zaino polish soon. BTW saw on the news that Chicago hasn't seen any snow in all of Jan/Feb. USA! USA! And as for your, "reversing down the mountain" comment... Jesus Christ dude, MOVE, that is no life.

Hard to tell what is the damage and what is dirt. If its just the small scratches on the very lip its probably not a big deal, a wheel repair specialist may be able to fill it in with epoxy/clear

Looks fixable at a glance

I'll let everyone know on Wednesday or Thursday!

Sand it . . . . Paint it . . . . It will be like new.

If it's cold enough for a snow storm, you really shouldn't be driving on the Cup 2s. They're very prone to cracking when driving on them that cold.

I agree, that looks like some cosmetic scraping but hard to tell with how dirty the wheels are. I'd try speaking to a carbon fiber shop about epoxy touch-up.

Oh I know...I was anxious

You can't sand carbon fibre... lol

OP, looks cosmetic, and most importantly it sounds like no one was hurt. Could have been worse as you said, glad you're ok man!

Aluminum sure. Carbon fiber, well let me know how that turns out.

OP, sorry to hear what happened. This was the prime reason I pulled my CF wheels and get a set of 6GR R spec wheels" I would recommend the same. My CF wheels are sitting in my house ready for track duty when the time comes around. Im not crazy about the PSC2s on the street either so I now I have Bridgestone RE-11s on the 6GR wheels.

Plus you can sand and repaint them if its light enough damage

Drink it in boys....drink it in...

At least you haven't lost your sense of humor!

You guys are blowing it out of proportion.

Totally fixable. It's not like you broke a spoke.
