Touch up chips/scrapes on stock aluminum rims

Previous owner of my 335i must have scraped some curbs. It's not bad, 2 tires have 3-4 1/2" long light scrapes when the rim meets the tire.

I do not want to remove the tire/rim from the car. I am thinking I can use an artist paint brush with some kind of touch up rim product to get them looking a little better.

These are my rims: https://www.autorimshop.com/bmw-335i...im-59617.html?

Suggestions?

Smooth it with a steel file and then touch up with BMW wheel touch up paint. Chances you have to call a couple dealers to find someone who knows about it are high, just a heads up. Have your VIN ready
