Default Curb rash

Just bought a 2015 with curb rash on all 4 wheels. Anyone near Shirley NY know any shops to repair?

Youn might want to check with a local (or somewhat local) custom wheel shop - they may have some contacts on wheel repairs. You can also check with a local high end car dealer and see who they may use for wheel repairs.

I got two curb rashes on my chrome wheels.
I look at them as battle scars. I have no plans on getting them fixed.

What is the wheel finish? Such can present different options. For example, black can be touched up by hand if not too badly scuffed. A good wheel repair shop can do wonders. Otherwise, even a decent paint/body shop might be able to "clean up" the situation. All the best.

After you get the wheels fixed, have your wheels balanced and get an alignment.

Chrome is much more difficult to repair, as they would need to be replated afterwards.
