scratched a rim.....neway to fix or touch up??
live in washington and i was driving around queen anne hill and was going around through one lane streets and i was turning right into one and some dude blocked off most of the lane and i was too close to the curb when i turned and before i knew i scratched my rear right rim 
.....n yea that basically made my day....but was wondering if there was anyway to touch it up (i know it wont be perfect) but just something to ease the look that is at now....take a look....any suggestions or comments are welcome...thanks

buy a new one its a rota.
the cost to fix it will probably just warrant you buying a new wheel, cant really tell how deep it is though. but then you have a spare.

I agree. I'd say if you want, tape off the surrounding area and spray paint it so it's not as noticible... but find someone selling like a set of 3 Rota's used or something.

Most people if they curb or bend a wheel, they'll try and sell the remaining 3 for really ******* cheap. That's where I was going with that statement...
