I wouldn't attempt to fix this on your own. Most dealers have wheel refinishers come by the dealership weekly to attend to this type of repair. I have used the service a couple of times and can assure you that their work is flawless. Completely undetectable if the damage isn't too bad. They charge between $150 to $170. Well worth it in my opinion. Good luck with whatever course of action you choose.

i know how you feel about curb rash on your car. the first time this happened, I took it to
the Seattle MB dealership. I was directed to the outside lot and there, in the corner, was
a pop up tent with a guy subcontracted to do the work. a couple years later, I just rolled
my tire/wheel into the lot through the side gate direct to him. saved myself markup $.
