Default any touch up paint for stock scion rims?

i just bought a tc and 1 rim has black spots all over it. im not sure if its road tar dust stuff or if its been scratched by rocks or what nots. ive hit 1 wheel against a curb and it didnt turn black it stayed the same color., But i tried cleaning it and it wont go away so im guessing its scratched. any touch up paint available?

You should be able to feel if it's scratched. It's likely some kind of tar or something. Try some bug/tar remover or something along those lines.

But no... not really any touchup for them. You could search around (here and google) for allow wheel repair or something and see what you might find, but usually scratches or curb rash are there for good. A PITA to have fixed I think.

Yea, it's a real pain in the butt. I wouldn't bother dealing with it personally. It is major work. It's easier and less work just to buy new ones for cheap - OR, time to get aftermarket wheels.
