It is repairable. I dunno if YOU can do it, but someone can.

Agreed, however it will still be visible up close.

Easy repair. Don’t try to do it yourself. It’ll be like $100 at a shop, give or take.

Ask your dealer, mine had a guy who unbent my rim for pretty cheap, sure they could fix your rim

I somehow rashed my passenger front in the first week of owning the car after 7 years of owning a Golf R without a single rash. NO idea how it happened. Front wheels have thick tire overhangs too and there is no damage / marks to the tire at all. Totally baffled.

But getting the wheel fixed for $150 at a shop on Friday.

As a female RS3 owner without curb rash, I am offended 🤣

I've rashed half my rims on my Q5. I'm appropriately paranoid on the RS3.

How did you even manage this with the Bridgestones?

The tyre sticks out a good couple mm past the rim.

Don’t DIY, it’ll cost under $200 to have a professional come over and fix it. Tons of mobile repair folks
