You could try to smooth it out with a dremel tool. You can also use some wheel polish to clean out the scratch and nicks to reduce the visibility.

In my area there are some mecanics that can repare those wheels....the remake the wheel...and make is perfectly round and make the rough job before you have to take them to the paint shop!!!!
They have done mine and nothing can be seen after the job!!!!
Not too expensive... 200$ ( can) for a set of 4 that have been a little bit curved!
