I really doubt they will have touch up paint for aftermarket rims, but lets see some pics

Take it to a wheel repair shop. Painting isn't going to do the trick if its curbed, it will still show its imperfection. Not only that, goodluck on color matching if its a different color than silver.

I will tell you now that my brother has got his rims repaired many time.

If the lip is the only damage part you can take it to a wheel shop and they will repair it and repaint it but you might have to get all four repainted so the color will match unless they can just paint the small section.

My brother take it somewhere in the Long Beach/LA area (he live there) to get his fix but they do a very good job. Looks brand new! Not to sure how much it cost though. Try finding a place where you live.

Depending on how bad it is, it can cost $75-300 to get a wheel fixed from what I understand...

It all depends on how bad it is and the finish/location of the wheel...

Im sure theres wheel shops all over cali SR!
