I know I can't fix the scratches but is there a chrome touch up paint I can use to make it less noticeable? New rims are in my future but it's the distant future. Lol

Back when I worked at a dealership, I used to watch the mobile wheel repair guys.
They would sand the minor scratches and fill the deep ones with a metal repair epoxy putty. Then then painted them to match.

The results were generally looked pretty good.

I got aftermarket 18's on my wife's car. Bout a 4 inch lip. Well at one point she has curbed all 4. I take a dremel and smooth it off and then put jb weld on it and sand it to match rim. After I repaint them and you can never find the scratches. And most were real deep. Has had 2 tire changes and never come off.
