How to fix scraped-up Type-S wheel?

OK, less than 4 weeks old, and I've already scratched my Type-S wheel (front-right) while parallel parking at my doctor's office.

I've repaired scratched alloy wheels in the past with some very fine sandpaper and some clear coat... but I'm guessing these wheels are different because of the "titanium" color.

Anyone have suggestions on the best way to fix Type-S wheels?

there are businesses taht repair wheels. Prolly going to have to takle wheel off and remove tire and turn in wheel for repair. Probably would be your best bet to get it done as good as possible.

Ouch.

that was an expensive doctors visit.
I've seen DIY's for regular alloy wheels, but with the titanium color.... that's a tough one.
