What should I do about a lightly scratched chrome wheel?

Backed into a small "ditch" I guess you could call it the other day with my right rear wheel, full of mud / gravel. It was quite a deep hole, when I tried to get out, it spun at first and put light / moderate scratches on the outer portion (edges) of the rim. You can't feel 90% of them but you can see them. There's a few moderate ones that you can feel however. :angry:



What would be the best thing to polish the lighter scratches out with? Is it even possible? I'm afraid it would just scuff up the chrome. Thanks in advance.
 
Doh, it's a chrome wheel, no clearcoat. Here's a photo of it (not the one that's scratched btw)

I wonder how much it would cost to have it rechromed? I'm not sure what kind of quality I could expect, haven't heard much about rechroming stuff.
 
I feel for you man, nice car & wheels, I couldn't see the scratches in your photo so I'm assuming they are not scratched thru totally...I use Zaino Z5 on my wheels because of some micro marring that only I can see....But you are the one that makes the decision.....Many people treat their wheels like fine jewelry. Good Luck....
 
Hehe, I'll just duct tape some aluminum foil on it and call it a day. Nah I'll just live with it, might replace it later on. Thanks for the responses though.
