Default Scraped my alloy wheels on curb, what to do?

Pulling a u-turn thinking I had plenty of room only to scrape the right front wheel (s-line 5 spoke) against the curb. About 1/4 of the very edge of the rim has a scrape mark, SUCKS! Anyway to buff/polish/grind it out or am I stuff with having to get a new one? Thanks!
