That's harsh man, I've done that too but not only scratched my rims it broke my bumper. I don't think there is anything you can do...

u can always repair a curbed rim...
but if that's just a little scratch...live with it, not worth the money to get it repaired~
if ur rim is chipped, or scratched bad, go to some bodyshop and ask them to repair the rim for ya...

you know when you back up for street parking you should use your side mirror controls and push the down button for the right side so you can see the curb as you back up. That way you won't get any damage since you know where the curb is.  oh and don't forget to put it back to normal when driving! ya i got this from the beemers and benz's because they auto do this when you put into reverse gear
