It doesn't look too deep so I'd probably try to touch up the paint and leave it alone.

Several years ago, I had a wheel fixed by a mobile rim repair guy. It has some curb rash Came out like new. You might want to give one of them a shot.

Get color match touch up paint. I have a buddy with black wheels and he keeps curbing them. He uses a heavy duty sharpie marker lmfao you can't even tell unless you're really up close

I've had good luck with tiny tubes of JB Weld for filler. Since it's a darker matte black, you might try some wrought iron paint from Michael's or another hobby store.

If you live in ny you should be used to this. I gave up trying to keep my wheels mint after driving in queens and Brooklyn. Save your money and let it be until it gets unbearable to look at.

But If it really bothers you go for it and get it fixed.

Mobile rim repair guys work some serious freaking magic - I had this done on an old 335is that was rashed up and chipped and it looked brand new! Was only like $125 too

Like other's have said, call around for some wheel repair guys. Shouldn't cost too much and usually comes out looking new!
