I rashed wheels on a car I had...they fixed them by machining them...they mounted the wheel on a spinner and fixed them right up....try google for wheel repair in your area...

I did it myself starting with 60 grit, then finishing with a 400. But, I don't know how damaged yours are...

Like Prof said, clear coat after..

Not losing sleep over this. But I see your point how it (the truck) becomes

Its probably easier to buy new one. This will force me to be more careful
