      Hey,

      Firstly, you could always try and talk with the manufacturer. However, that may not go too far. From some of the pics, it appears that the metal may be etched. If so, you will need to get them refinished. Did you try the ScratchX just in case the marring is only on the surface?

      chevyman2001,

      If the wheels are clear coated, I would treat them like paint; Use ScratchX to remove the light marring and follow-up with 2 coats of NXT Tech Wax.

        No, i actually haven't tried using scratch x on them. All i have is color x, but maybe i'll pick some up today and give that a try. I'm willing to do anything that gets me out of getting taking them to a paint shop. Thanks for the idea. Even if it only takes some of the scratches out, it'd be better than it is.

          Well, i've tried using scratch x on my wheels, but it made no difference in the scratches at all. I guess i'll have to take it to a professional and have them taken out. Thanks for all your guys' help.

            Hey,

            Sorry to hear that! Well...at least we tried. If the ScratchX, when thoroughly worked it, did not touch it, then you will probably have to get the wheels repaired.

            Please keep us posted!
