Angry Need help ... Scratched Rim

Got pulled into a curb by a pothole yesterday and scratched the edge of my right front rim... Anyone have any quick fixes for hiding the damage? It's not extensive, but the damn car was PRISTINE before this. Any thoughts welcome.

Do a search but I think sunlight silver is a close match maybe you can buy some touch up paint and touch it up.

I did the same thing... sucks, doesn't it?

However, after some a**hole backed into me while parked the other day, the rim isn't such a big deal anymore. Now it's the $500 repair to the scratch in the front bumper!!

(I'm going to just leave it... I figure nobody will bother to mess with my dinged-up RX8 now!)

So, in short - just leave the rim until something more major happens... then, it won't seem so bad at all.

Sunlight silver should match our wheel color too.

I'd try to find 1 new OEM wheel. Either on this site or www.ebay.com

I've seen just one wheel being sold a few times.
Good luck
