Can this be fixed?

UPDATED WITH PICS.

I was parking tonight, and I was a bit drunk and didnt realize that I was close to the curb. I ended up hitting the curb, but very little. It ended up putting two nice little curb rashes on my front right wheel. They are not tooo big but since it took a bit out you can see that its deeper where it was hit. I polished nit and it made it shiny but stilla bit noticeable. Can this be fixed? If so, how?

magmasters or other local wheels shops can repair curbed wheels and re-polish them.

You were admittedly drunk and you were what?

Good to read that the only consequence was a small bit of curb rash. Bro, you gotta be more careful.

Yeah, I know. But I wasnt that bad at all. I just grazed the sidewalk.

Here are a few pics. Let me know what to do.

The upper edge of the lip has a little bit of the aluminum sticking up, so if you rub your finger you will feel it. I was trying to sand it down but I didnt want to mess it up even more. What should I do. If I wet sand where its scratched, wouldnt I put more smaller scrtches on it, or would the polishing take care of that.
