1. Heres what I did, first go to the dealer with the paint code for SSM. Ask for touchup paint.
2. Clean the wheels, then touch it up carefully, and keep a napkin around in case you smear.
(matches very nicely, had a really f'd up wheel, then did this. i also did all other chips and scratches)
3. Forget about the scratches since they don't stand out anymore from distances.
4. Live Happily by spending money on some mods!!!
Reason why i went with touch up: I don't want to have to worry about paint durability/longivity by repainting and bondoing myself, nor did i want to spend the $500(all wheels) it would take to get them done the RIGHT way.... good luck on whatever you decide

word... I have never done it, however it seem sooooooo easy. I am going to be doing all of my wheels... (dont let idiots drive your car) i think its going to be easier for me, because i am going to be painting them black instead of having to color match the wheel. Il post pics.

If you do a lot of city parking it's going to keep happening. The TL's wheels are too easy to curb. Next time you buy a set of tires think about plus sizing them to offer better protection.
