Wow, those are some narrow tires. Looks like the damage was just cosmetic, no action necessary. But if it bothers you, get it smoothed and repainted at a shop.

around here there are a few people who offer mobile wheel repair. they come out and can mend scratches on wheels, usually goes for about 80 - 100 per wheel depending on if its forged, etc..

I scratched two of the stock rims.... people really don't notice. I forget at times as well. Wouldn't worry much
If it bothers you too much get them smoothed at a shop

Get 2 cans of Plasti-Dip Black for $5.98 each and call it a day, dont waste your money trying to repair that at a shop. You'll scratch it again anyways

Go 2 ur local wheels of america and they can fix it 4 u, even with some major damage. I bent my MR's BBS at the track and they fixed it in one day =)

Sand paper and plastidip.

As people mentioned above you have few options. There is plenty of shops that can fix the rim for you for around 100$, or you can just sand it down on your own and plasti dip the wheels. Cheaper and better option imo. Not like you won't scratch them again :P

I did the same dam thing. Just go buy some paint from O reileys and patch it up. good as new

Rub that wheel against a curb all the way around the lip, then repeat on the other three wheels. It will look even.

Or, and i'm not sure that you want to take this draconian step based on your post. You could google "wheel repair"....

lmfao. Now there's an idea.

Sand paper and plasti dip are good. If you really want you can get them reforged by a shop for $100-150 or so, but if you are likely to hit em again, don't bother.

dont even need to sand 'em. soap, water, elbow grease, let dry. then spray. just did my friends GSR wheels.

just spray over... hehe..

I'm not really a fan of plastidip and I suppose if it bothers you then you should get it repaired at a shop.

Or just embrace the battle scars on the "rally" car and own them. I easily could get obsessive about minor imperfections, so I'm trying to tell myself to just enjoy the car. Life is too short too worry about minor cosmetic problems with your lancer!

Ok, is there any DIY way ?
like just paint it with some kind of water proof color to cover that minor scratch ?!
what would you guys suggest as a good wear-proof paint that i can do it by my self ?
