Don't fix as you will probably do it again. Wait until you get some more scratches on them.
Search the forum as people have found matching paint for the 17's. I believe i heard the MDX paint was a good match. You can also take it to a tire shop and they will fix it for about 50 bucks.

You can take your wheel to any quality wheel repair shop. Here in the Midwest we have Mr. Wheel which is a great shop which can make any scratched wheel look like new for roughly $50-75. You do NOT need to buy a new wheel.

How bad can they fix? My wife really gouged her '02 TL rim. Do the only repair scratches?

Well, I hit a pothole the size of Toledo a few years ago and it had a clearly obvious flatspot on the wheel and was bent fairly bad. They either reconditioned mine or sold me another reconditioned wheel for $75 and that's much better than buying an OEM wheel for $259 from my dealership or from an OEM distributor.
My boss has a S55 AMG and he hit a curb pretty hard and scratched up his AMG wheel all the way around - I never thought they could fix this! $75 later, it was like brand new and we couldn't tell where it was damaged.
I think they can work wonders, IMO....but they would know best what they can and can't do.
