The scratches can be buffed out with a high speed buffer and some compound.

Rims... well... the proper way to fix the rim would be to have it dismounted, the lip would be shaved down and then the wheel gets re-painted. The most times I have seen that happen, they almost never match the other 3. If the wheels are scratched on on side, I say do them both and get them to match the other side as best as possible... that way it's less noticeable because you don't look at both sides of the car at the same time.

Fishers in baton rouge can fix wheels... they will require you to bring the wheel by there for a price quote.
Thanks guys. I'll relay the info. However, seems the deal may not go thru 'cause the dealer is playing games with the paint issue and really pissing Mike off...!
