Why me!? Why!

Ok, I was busy at work today and my car needed to be moved. My friend volunteers to move it for me since I was swamped. He comes back (after moving it) and says to me...."uhh, I think I may have put a little scratch on your rims..." I was like WTF!? I dropped what I was doing, ran outside, and found that both wheels on my right side had been curbed...the front wheel more than the rear! I almost died! I could live with a little curbing but this is SOOO DAMN NOTICABLE! I wanted to cry...:-( He told me he was making a turn and made it too soon and that is when he scratched them. I will post pics tomorrow, but fair warning, they look NASTY! I dont even want to drive it. Now I have to pay for 2 new rims (just the rims) at 199 a piece. Supposedly my friend will "pay as much as he can". QUESTION: I can order the rims and have a local tire place take off the tires from the scratched ones and place them on the new ones right? Mount and balance them is what they call it? And of course, I have to ask...HOW MUCH TO DO THAT? Anyway, I am going to cry myself to sleep now...laters. :-I
