Rim scuff

I was driving in the parking lot and i have the amg style III wheels and i scraped a curb. I was wondering if you can wet sand down the scratch or should i bring it to a wheel repair place. I am in the NYC area.

I know here in OC you can get your wheels refinished for $200. They look and drive like new.

Painting the wheels is not as easy as it seems. That metallic paint is a bit of a ***** to work with.
