damn curb!

There is probably a thread on this but I need help!

I got brand new Konig rims and i was backing up in the dark and hit my rims. Got slight scratches on them but its killing me :'(

The rims are black

Any way of fixing them that doesnt kill my pocket?

not really, sand down the scratches and repaint it. If it ground down into the metal (I'll assume it did) you will need to use a file and file and sand the wheels smooth, then repaint it. No guarantee it will ever look the same. Otherwise it's just an expensive lesson on watching where your environment better.

they are very thin, a little rugged. I guess it didnt reach into the metal.
