Michael,
There are a heap of wheel repairers out there. Have a look here:

thats the worst when even if no one else sees it you do
And when you look at your car its all you see
You should be able to get it fixed for pretty cheap
good luck

I, also, have a 3.5 inch "cement curb rash" on my right front rim. (Turning left into a 'protected' parking space and, apparently, while beginning the left turn, the edge of the rim & tire contacted the curb as the wheel 'extended' beyond the wheelbase. I heard sort of a rubbery thump and thought I had run over a piece of thick twig. Parked, went back to see what I had run over, nothing there, really puzzled until I examined the wheel. I still don't understand how I could have been that close to the curb!!! Just don't understand!!)
Is a wheel 'surface rash' (very outside edge of the rim in my case) repairable? Can it be machine buffed away somehow? Or is this a boo-boo I will continue to accept (MY BAD!!) and live with?
