^^rims are different material and I havent personally tried it but its worth a read at the least.

Thanks for the ideas. The first link shows damage equivalent approximately to what I have. Their method of taking care of it might actually do it. It is very involved unfortunately and to do all 4 wheels would take many hours. I was kinda hoping for an easier fix than that. Plus you have to cover the entire car up, etc..

The wheels are only $150 each to replace brand new so it's questionable whether it is worth bothering with. I was just kinda hoping there was a paint pen or something I could use which would make it a piece of cake.

Yes I'm lazy.

You should just replace them. A shop in my area wanted $150 to repair each wheel.

I fixed the curb rash I had on my own, pretty simple although it was only a light scratch. You can't even tell it was there!
