Get it repainted/powdercoated. Pretty minor to me, unless its a total show car I would just leave it or put a little dab of black paint over it.

Yes, a small amount of glaze, sand it, and then paint. I have done it before. It looked perfect on a black wheel

Some wheel companies will give you the mixing recipe to have your rims redone. I know my buddy had some paint mixed t touch up his Rays wheels.

I may be wrong here but are those 57dr's? I'm intimately familiar with these... Not sure if that's good or bad. The casting cleanup on them is far from ideal IMO for someone as reputable as rays. It appears as though the 1/8" thick layer of paint they put on them has chipped, from a rock or similar debris in the road.

As already suggested, automotive body glaze and paint. Check some of your local auto paint stores, many of them can mix up paint and can it for you in a spray can so you don't need to invest lots of money in painting equipment but you can still wind up with high quality results.

Meh, I'd just leave it. My Enkeis are all jacked up with rock chips... Funny though, only the rears. The fronts are good.

Automotive glaze. I don't remember the kind. It is what my buddy had at his shop. We repainted all the wheels. Prep, primer, paint, clear. All the wheels had nicks. I got them for a great deal used. I was not hard. Took one afternoon. Cost about $10 per wheel in materials.

But, he already had all the tools...
