I scratched up one of my rims. I have the same rims as you and its a very small, 1/2 inch scratch. It seems like an easy fix, but I needa know what color it is so I can sand it and paint it. Lemme know what color it is if you ever find out.

I would think any competent wheel shop should be able to take care of it. Ever since I bought my Evo I don't park any closer than a foot from the curb. I learned my lesson after scarring the **** out of one of my 350Z wheels. Mitsubishi never even noticed it when I traded it in. Good luck getting it fixed.

The problem with having it fixed professionally, is that it will probably cost around $100, and if you look long enough you can find a set of four used Evo wheels for about $100 each. It just doesn't add up to me. I say again:
