Go to Bavauto.com, under detailing, then wheel and tire care: there is an "alloy wheel repair kit" for $55 that might work for you
(sorry, I couldn't get the link to copy )

Go to autozone to buy flat black spray paint along with fine grit sand paper. Carefully sand down the scuffs and mask It well. Then spary the area twice or so. You don't have to take off the wheel if you mask and cover up the car. Easy $10 DIY job. Not perfect but does the job. Good luck.

this is your best bet, and should look decent.

Same thing happened to me with my 172 wheels last Saturday, as my gonads went to my neck from sound of my rims carving into the sidewalk. I feel your pain!

You can also spray some paint in the cap of the spray can and use a little brush to brush on the paint where its scratched.. Gotta work fast as it dries quick.
