Post up pics of the scratch depending on the size or w/e it wouldn't be too hard to sand down yourself and just repaint them without drawing too much attention to the scratch.

Throw up some pics of the wheels so we can see the scratch but like Fitcapo said you should be able to do some sanding to make it less noticeable at the very least. Wont cost mutch to do just the price of some spray paint and your time

Yeah I would say just paint them yourself it will cost you quite a bit to have a shop paint them.

Some, but very very few, NAPA-UAP places have their own paint shop but you have to call those shops in your area to confirm which one has the machine for this kind of job, if any, then take the wheel with you and the NAPA technician will do some tests and then tell you if they can match the color of your wheels, the test is FREE, it's all up to how hard is to match the color of your wheels, some wheels are easy to work on, others hard or even impossible like mine ENKEI PERFORMANCE EVO 6 the hyperblack model...

Best of Luck

Chris
