Question Nasty Curb Rash problemo

Bought my 8 used and apparently the person who drove it before had a problem with kissing curbs because my front two rims, notably the driver's side, has serious curb rash issues. Otherwise the car is in great shape but the wheels really irk me. Is there anything I can do about this short of replacing the rim itself?

I have the exact same problem. 3 of mine are curbed from the previous owner. You can have the wheel repaired, most places charge around $100-$150 per wheel. You can probably pick up undamaged used wheels for about the same price in the for sale forum. I'm just going to live with mine for now and get some aftermarket wheels down the road.
