How do you recommend I fix this wheel?

It happened

I went into a parking lot and scrubbed the wheel agains an ill-placed curb. Take a look at the pics for the damage.

I have the performance wheels, which I understand have a clearcoat. I know there are kits to sand and fill alloy wheels, but do they have kits that would work on this one? What do you guys recommend?

Look for a good rim repair / refinishing place (or mobile guy) in your area. I know the going rate around here is around $100-150 per wheel. You'd be surprised at the outcome.

They'll usually sand the area down, fill out the scratch/curb-rash, and re-clear coat. Good luck and I hope this helps!
