need method to fix wheel scratches

My nine day old '07 tl-s brushed up against a curb today scratching the right front rim in four places. What is the best way to repair this and get it looking better. Coming from 15" steel wheels and hubcaps, this was very distressing.

Thank you both for the info and link. Based on the cost for professional repair and/or the skill set required for d i y, approx $250 for a new wheel might be a good route. I have learned the hard way that 17" wheels can go where 15" wheels can't.
