Dear Distinguished Members,<\/p>\n

I seek your help in fixing some scratches on the black painted alloy wheels of my new Brezza ZXI. The affected wheel is the rear left one, which got scratched in 3 places (please refer photograph) when I inadvertently bumped my car against a particularly rough piece of concrete lying on the edge of the congested, narrow road I was driving on. There was a sound when the wheel brushed against the piece of concrete.<\/p>\n

When scratched gently by my fingernail, these scratches seem a little bit deep (not much though). It may seem I am nitpicking, but maybe that is because it is a brand new car! is there any way I can fix this at home using some polishes\/paints etc.?<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n

Here’s what GTO<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n

Painting is the only option. With black wheels, scratches are a lot more visible than in silver ones.<\/p>\n
