You might not be taking it out for a looooong time, road repair seems to be very low on most cities priorities right now.:icon14:

Don't worry about it.

I curbed my 40th a bit when I first got it and since I hated looking at the silver color showing through the darker paint on the rim I tried using my car touchup paint and it covered pretty well. You can see it if you look for it but it is way better than seeing the silver every time I walk by.

I get paranoid when parallel parking so I always leave at least 16 inch gap between the tire and the curve. Its a big gap but better than being sorry. I think you can get rid of that scratch tho. Check your local repair shop

just sand it down with some sand paper and then use some 1000 grit then 2000 to polish it down. You can then try to find some silver spray paint to match it or leave it as is. Much better than nasty curb rash.

Search Google for rim repair writeups.
