Is that just cosmetic? If it's rather light surface marks, you should be able to buff it out. Wetsand if needed.

For anything deeper, following-up with touch-up and clear should fix it. I don't know the proper paint code for it, however.

Otherwise, take it to a wheel shop. It should not cost more than $100 to fix it. I've had bent forged wheels fixed for close to that amount.

That is really small damage... probably hardly noticeable. $1000 is a good price--I would take it!
