You can take it too a wheel shop and they will most likely fix it up for you. From what I hear, they do a pretty good job of making it less obvious. From what I hear it can cost around 120 and up depending on what it looks like exactly. Im not sure about places near you though. Try searching some of the older posts. Tough luck on ridding the rash! Drive more carefully!!!

there are tons of wheel places that will take your wheel off, strip it down and repaint it. i've had one of my wheels repainted after some tire installers scratched it. it usually runs about 125 dollars

Isn't the stock rim only worth maybe $200?

try buying a new stock rim from nissan and you will pay around 700 - 750 dollars.

you can prolly find a used one for maybe around 175 dollars.
