Default Rims got cut(how to fix)

Ok i was wondering if there was anyway to repair one of my rims without buying new ones etc. When i bought the car they had cuts on the lip from the retard hiting curbs. can they be fixed?

If its a wheel that cost under $200 better to buy a new one. http://www.fixrim.com/?gclid=CLPZtdrh14sCFQglSgod1H_sTg

Not true i fixed one of mine, all it took was sand paper and time. I had to sand it smooth, then use very high grit 3,500 sand paper to finish it off. Then i used a metal polish and it came out pretty good.

Deffinantly doable if the rim isnt to bad. If your missing chunks then no, if its just scratched to **** you can sand it smooth then polish the crap out of it to get it slikly smoothy and shiny again.
