I jsut scratched my rim and I was wondering if people know if there is a way of fixing it instead of replacing it. IT is a curbside scractch too....

OUCH.
That happened to me a month or so ago. The worst part is that I took a chunk out of my tire, which had to be replaced.
The curb left about a 3/4 of a inch scratch on the outside of the rim. My dad dremeled it down a bit and then added some clear coat. Looks waaaaaay better and far cheaper than replacing the rim. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I took a curb sideways really late at night on wet road...just drug the wheel along the curb...the whole edge was pretty ugly. I took it to a machinist and they smoothed it out for me and it looks great!!! $45...

Check your Yellow Pages or ask a reputable body shop, there are companies that do this on a regular basis for not too much $$$
