Default What tool(s) to fix rim scrape?

Took on some nasty pothole damage to one of my rims. It's not really noticeable, but it bugs the hell out of me. Cosmetic damage only. I've got some touch-up paint, but I need to smooth/sand the scraped area first.

Any thoughts on something I can get cheap from sears or home depot?

You have to register to read the forum, but the article there is definitely the best I've seen for a DIY wheel scratch repair.

Thanks for the link! Damn, that's hardcore. I don't think I'm that brave. I'll probably just sand it down and hit it up with touch up paint from a brush.
