 Gutter Scrapes

I bought some second hand white mag wheels real cheap because three of them have gutter scrapes. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get rid of them? What sort of place would do this work (as I live in Darwin)? Is it worth the cost or should i have them re powdercoated and not worry about them?
Cheers Hatzi

How bad is it? Can you just sand back and recoat?
If you have the time, sand it yourself.

i got a quote for roughly $120 per rim at a place in west sydney.
the guy said it it would also take about 3 days. i like white rims, they look very niche

No I don't think sanding will work, but filing might. Thanks Apollo. 
Strober $120 sounds a bit steep, as each rim didn't cost me that much and i still need tyres. Your not wrong about the white rims, they look great with the greeny blue paint job.
Might try filing them a little and get them repowder coated.

Try sandblasting or beadblasting? Shouldn't cost that much to do. Same effect as sanding but alot quicker.

Thanks guys, I'll look into sand or bead blasting but filing and some sanding looks to be the go. I'll then get them powder coated. Thanks again .
