Default Scratched my all new alloy wheel!!!

So today I got my all new 17'' alloy wheel on my car, then when I was ordering meal at a drive through, I scratched my front left wheel by the curb.....


I was so pissed and went outside to c the scratch, it was pretty deep......is there any way to make it look better?

dude im feeling for ya! i did the exact same thing, not on my s though... i was in my lexus gs which sports 20" rims that cost nearly 5k! i scraped them up and litteraly busted into tears!!! i have a chrome finish on the rims and it was soooo ugly! now if its a three piece wheel you can take the rim apart and have the lip refinished. if its a single piece then your gonna have to get the scratch polished out... hope that helps

I thought you could with an integra engine in it. Afterall, emissions are the issue. Correct me if I'm wrong.
