sand it down and then repaint it.... thats about it, once you repaint it it will be much less noticeable.

I thought so too, at first, but then I noticed the shipping, hub rings & lug nut costs. The only way they're cheaper then elsewhere would seem to be in quality, not cost.

no they're cheap in cost.... 350 is a steal hub rings are 20 bucks max and lugs can be had for 50. either way you need those for any other wheel and believe me, i know they're cheaply made, you don't need to tell me that lol
