I think you are going to have to regrind the rim, unless the scratch is superficial. Try a search on this forum for info. Lots of rims have been scratched and those posts have more info than I know.

You could swap it with your sparetire rim if it really bothers you or is too expensive to repair...

Same thing happened to my LS. I had the spare tire's wheel swapped with the damaged one. I dont know if the IS has a full size spare on the same wheel but I assume it does.

A wheel grind will cost you between $75-100 a wheel.... Afterwards your wheel will look brand new (from what I've heard)..

It has a full spare in the truck, as a matter of fact, exactly the same

Erik,

where can i get it down??

thx

The dealership should be able to do it actually (however it may be relatively more expensive). You can call around and check...

What about a stone chip on graphite wheel? God damn it I had a total of 7 stone chips (one on the rim) in one event after seeing one of those stupid gravel trucks. I know I can get the touch up paint for the car, but don't know if there is one for graphite color.
