Gash in my rim, please help.

I just noticed a deep wide scratch/gash on my rim. It is pretty deep, down to the surface and was wondering if there is a putty or filler to fix this? Thanks

Are these the stock 17's? Is the scratch/gash into the metal or are you talking that it took the paint off down to the metal or primer? Do you have a picture of it? It would really help to see the damage.

Pbmax- Have you tried a touchup paint? I used the Nissan light Silver on mine and it was close. Unless you want to send off your wheel to have it redone the touchup paint helps hide the scratch pretty good. I could not find a spray that matched completely. I know there is a link to show how to fix curb rash on the org, but I am not sure where. If it is really bad I can find the name of a place in DE that refinishes wheels. Think it will run about $125ish. Not sure where in Philly you are, but if you are around the Malvern area, I would be happy to try and help you get it looking better.
