If you come down to Toronto. and you go downtown, there is so many dad drivers with nice cars, and i've seen $200k+ with curb scratches. I feel so bad for the rims sometimes D:

And i have also taken my alloy rims to be repaired once, after i went off-roading awhile back.

If your wheels are painted you can get them fixed by a third party repair shop if they're unpainted aluminum you'll have to replace the whole wheel. I have the style 333's and that's what happened to me.

In Va we use www.wheelsonsite.com

Maybe call them and see if they have partners in FL. They repaired one of my wheels with curb rash on it and it looks brand new...perfect.

Contact your BMW dealer and ask what shop they use for wheel repairs. My wife has scratched ours several times, and for $100 and 1 day, if looks brand new.

You can use a 3rd party and I bet you will not be able to tell. They will do a good job. Try here. http://www.rimdoc.com/default.asp (says they serve central florida)

Or, you can try to fix yourself with some wheel paint, sand paper, primer, etc. It really depends on how bad the scratch is. I have repaired minor scratches myself with the wheel paint/primer/clear method that you can find on the internet (the audi nasa method). It comes out "ok." I was happy with the results. The best part about fixing it yourself is once you do it you know the wheel can be repaired and then you are not as OCD about scuffing a wheel. It's either $100 for the 3rd party or a couple hours of your time and you will be happy and able to forget about the scratch. Good Luck and try not to stress too much. This is a common problem and most likely a very easy fix.

Dude just call the dealership, I'm sure they have a mobile wheel repair that comes out at least once a week.

I had mine done at VOB BMW Maryland on my 335i coupe. They had a 3rd party come in and fix them at the service center for $50 a wheel. Could be a little steep, but wheels were as good as new. Ask your dealer if they bring in someone for wheel repair.
