Unhappy My poor rims!!! HELP! S.O.S!!

So yesterday I was driving around obviously and when I pulled up to the curb I accidentally scratched my rims on my new, not even half way paid off 2013 Fit Nav. The scratches are bad, like horrible bad. I have no idea what to do, should I buy a new wheel? Can I buy a new wheel? Can I fix it my self? What the fruck do I do? It's really bad. Please someone help.

alloy factory wheels can be refinished, check craigslist for a mobile wheel refinisher in your area or call some wheel shops

Try to get it refinished, if the curbs are too deep to refinish just buy a new one:

Oh yeah I didn't realize OP was in CA. Probably worth the drive. You'll have spares for next time

A friend of mine is in the wheel repair business. I am not sure if he is still set up at the Walnut Creek Mercedes dealership or if he's moved to the Pleasanton dealership (long story):

Another option is Rite-Way in Walnut Creek:

Mini Odyssey, would you be willing for a compromise of just giving me 1? I may be able to swing $300.

But thank you so much you guys you're really helpful.
