I saw someone selling one Evo wheel on ebay last week, not sure if its still for sale though. If your that worried about the nick you may look into buying a new wheel.

Ahh, that's nothing! I had one wheel on my car that was 10x as bad as that. I called it my bad luck rim cuz all my flat tires and curb checks were all to the one wheel - the other three were in perfect shape(go figure). I was pissed at first but then I decided to just get some new wheels. If it bothers you that much look into getting some aftermarket wheels like I did.

My advice is to shake it off. Street cars are meant to get f-ed up a little. Its like a badge of honor in my opinion....means your car isnt a trailor queen.

You can try putting some clear coat paint over the nick to prevent corrosion.
