Yup...I think my HX rims have been like 4 differnt colors in like 2 years because it takes about 6 months and the spraypaint starts looking bad! Just sand them down and respray them a color you like!

Lemme guess your were maybe speeding also??
did the cat have a collar...did it die? and dont even say ''**** a cat iam more worried about my rim'' ovasly you were worried because you turned around to see how it was..a scratch is replaceable someones pet isnt..but anyway..you can take it to a machine shop..and they can use a high speed buffer and take it out possibly for like $50.00 thats what my friend did
