Anyone know how to fix some minor scratches from rubbing against a curb? I now have a few from being careless and a new house that has a very narrow driveway. I have a 07 with stock rims. Are they painted? Can I just sand and polish the scratches off, then spray with a clear coat? Please help me.

The 2007 stock wheels are finished in something called hypersilver. You will not be able to match it with a rattle can. Furthermore, even most really good wheel repair shops can't do it, or won't do it. You may be stuck with trying to find some replacement wheels on a forum, or getting your wheels powdercoated black or something.

There are lots of wheels like yours on Craigslist.. keep an eye out and you could get some backups.
