Check the yellow pages for a wheel guy.They can usually be fixed and you can't tell where the scrapes had been.

fixrim.com ive used them and my shop uses them. they do insane work. but dude keep in mind that ur gonna scrape them up no matter what, whether u like it or not it's gonna happen..... i have the ronjon legends on my tl I kept them nice for a month til i saw scrapes n paint missing not on the sides like road rash but from rocks on the road....ive never even seen that on my type s rims and i had them on longer and in the same environment....kinda pisses me off because its not supposed to happen but it did and it does.

It's the way the japanese make the wheel overhang the tire.
You won't see that on American or European cars very often.
