Any way to clean up a scraped wheel

Hi,

I accidentally scraped one of my wheels on a curb while parking. Is there an easy/cheap way to clean up the edges?

Have it fixed by a wheel repair man. Going rate around here is 50-60 dollars.

Wow...that's really cheap! I've been quoted $200 per wheel.

Do you have a picture? You might be able to do it yourself if the damage is light enough...
