Today I tried to park a bit too close to the curb and ended up scratching one of my rims up. I was wondering if there is a reasonable way for me to fix this myself and what it would require or how much it would cost to have it done for me.

depending on how bad the curbrash is, the worse case would be getting the wheel welded and machining it smooth, then paint or polishing.

Honestly I'd tell you not to worry about it if you'll listen. They're your stock wheels on what I assume is your daily-driven car. It's not something worth spending money on to fix, the same as with every scratch that you'll get over the ownership of your car.

Yeah that's probably the best thing to do. Also I am a new driver so I could also expect more damage. But if there was a reasonable way I could fix it myself, I would be interested in it.
