Wheel scars

Is there any way to get rid of the swirls in wheels from a curb check? I plan on painting my stockers this summer and was wonderin' if there was a way to get rid of the scars to actually make 'em look really good (for stockers).

depends on how bad it is....if it's missing metal you'll have to either have it filled and smoothed or polished down so much that you could take a chance on weakening the rim. the amount of money and time you'll spend, assuming that it is more then cosmeticly light, you could just pick a new rim up from a yard in decent shape.
