Default Scaped the F**k outta my wheel

Scaped the F**k outta my wheel. This has ruined my weekend. I sanded most of the paint off, and there is lilttle if none gouges.
I looked in the repair section with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction of a how-to repair. And how can I match the wheel paint on the '06 rim?

thanks
B

I'll point you to a different direction. Use this as a reason to get some new rims.

Here you go. I had a pretty bad curb rash on my Nismo's & they did a great job. They come to you as well. They charge between $100-$125 per wheel & that includes refinish.

part out the other 3 wheels and sell the 4 tires separately, and then buy some aftermarket wheel instead with massive lip and low offsets

Haha yeah right with his parking record. Just kidding man but it looks like you've been given lots of great options. Good luck with whatever route you take let us know how it turns out.
