Sure, find a wheel repairer, or even a metal polisher, they might be able to buff it out for you. If you don't know WHERE to start, go to a biggish mag wheel place, and ask who they use for repairs.

if it is just paint scratch, then any panel repair shop will be able to repaint or touch up the scratch.
If it is deep in the metal then you might want to take it to a wheel restorer for advice. Lots of people here get emotional when you mention wheel restoration, but generally they have no idea on what is and isn't structural on a wheel. The restoration place should be able to tell you if it is fixable.
