Default Rim repair nearish sacramento

after years and years of curb free driving I very minorly curbed one of my wheels , they're cheap (130 a pop) but am wondering how cheap it would be to get it fixed , especially as it's SOOO minor.

yo just sand them down then re-polish it with some rim polish...should be almost not noticeable.
