they can be repainted (I had one done after dealer nicked it during service) for about $225.
Just make sure they do a good job matching the other 3 and look at it outside in the sunshine just to be sure. It took two times to get mine right.

Try Meguiar's ScratchX or some other light buffing compound.

These rims are painted this color by first painting them black then a silverish coating over top so unlikely you can buff out scratches as it is damaged paint as well as metal.
