The damage looks superficial so all you probably have to do is clean the area, find a paint that matches your wheel, prime, spray paint, and clear coat.

You might take a look at this website (more severe scape but will give you an idea of the process):

I don't get these ricer mods... I say no. It's not real CF, its that fake look a like CF stuff. Get real CF overlays if your going to do something like it.

Just call a good rim repair person. They should be able to fix that for $80.

I had a mark which was a little worse and they fixed it for $125 last week. Looks like new again.

I like the wheels and the drop, just not the CF. I think it would look really good if you took off the CF and did a brushed finish on the face without the black accents.

Keep them alloy Mayas. Take to a local wheel shop and get them refinished.
