Anything is POSSIBLE. It is a scratch, or a gash? If it is a scratch then just try buffing it and hope for the best

Its a scratch, and they are chrome clad. Not solid aluminum, so polishing is not an option. thanks

Sorry, but I can not picture fixing this. At least it will not rust..... EBay, used wheel.

If it was the aluminum wheel, then it could have been sent in to get redone. I had a big gash in my wheel after getting tboned, and they sent it to some place, came back looking new.

I've got 4 chrome-clads with the original 275/60/20 Goodyears all in outstanding condition with less than 10K miles; I plan to go to 22's so I will sell these soon. If you are close to Central Texas they will be available for pick up in the near future. Not sure on price - but reasonable - make offer if interested.
Thanks,
toxdoc
