Curb Rash :/

While pulling into my driveway my front-left wheel dropped into a hole and caused some rash. I called a wheel refinishing company but they charge to get the entire wheel redone @ $135 although it's only an inch or two long.

Anyone know of a company that would fix just that area at a more reasonable price in the New York area?

some pics:

I would just leave it. Driving in NYC is tough anyway.

Get some sand paper and just make it look ok for time being. I was so mad that I almost curbed myself after i curbed my wheel, but then i wet sanded it and polished it, now its VERY hard to see it unless you are looking for it.

I guarantee you can find someone to refinish it for more than $100.
