Before you go trying to buy a new one you should check out how much it would be for wheel repair. Though, ruffs are fairly cheap it may be cheaper just to buy a new one. Still, I say check out how much it would be to repair.
Yeah, I have some nasty curb rash on my right front wheel, from not paying attention pulling up in front of a buddy's house last fall. It sucks, but just something that's going to happen on a DD. I'll be pissed if I **** up one of my deep dish C5's after I get them though.

It will help to make sure the tires you buy have the extra rubber that covers the edge of the wheel or the "rim protector" to prevent minor curb rash.
I've noticed people without these types of tires have more curb rash than people that do.
