Only way to fix it is to take it to a wheel shop and have them fill the rash, sand, polish and re-clear the area.

thanks all. i just didn't know what to use to fill in the scratches. i had read about sanding. but, i guess if i want it to look llike new, go to a professional. so, $100 for one rim sounds reasonable?

ya it really depends on how bad they are. I scratched mine a while back and there was no way to repair them. U might want to start looking on ebay or something for a replacement
