How to fix Chrome Rim Scratch

[ultimate007]

I was driving into a gas station to fill up the tank. A car was on my left and out of nowhere, I heard a bid noise from the right of my car. I was on a freakin sidewalk and kept going.
When I checked for the damage, I found out the my entire fender had shifted up by half an inch and now the passenger door rubs against it when I try to open it. I was devasted because I got my car about only 2 months ago.
I did already get an estimate to fix it and the guy said it was no big deal and would cost $75 to realign it.

My question is that as a consequence of this incident, I made a little scratch in my right front chrome rim. The chrome layer immediately peeled off. How can I make sure this doesn't spread more? Can I use some aluminum epoxy of some sort.
Thanks alot.

i hear radio advertisements for places that will repair rims, but I dont know how much it costs or if it turns out good. I hit a curb HARD and put a big gash in one of my rims:-(

I just got back from the body shop and my fender is realigned .
I asked the guy about the rim and told me he knows a place where they would fix the chrome by putting a new layer or something. The problem is that it would cost $110 per wheel. I can buy a freakin brand new rim for that price??

If it is that bad then buy a new one.....if it is only noticable when you are washing the damn thing then maybe it will be okay...How big of a scratch are we talking? Pics?

just depends on how much it bothers you, my dent is pretty bad but not worth 110 to fix it, I'll just buy a new rim when I'm rich.
