If you curbed it to the point where you can see it and feel it, you're pretty much SOL. Its through the clearcoat and scuffed into the aluminum. You can take it to a refinishing place and get the lip polished out and have the whole rim re-clearcoated. Or you can powdercoat them any color you want. I did see someone get a set mirror polished (like GSR Blades), looked pretty damn good.

I'd have to surf Honda Tech for the pictures. I know it wasn't cheap. I want to say $60 a rim.
