Unhappy Curb Rash Fix?

Whats up guys, I'm new to this forum so I hope I'm posting this correctly. Anyway, I just got my G37xS and I am in love with it. But just yesterday, I took a turn too tightly and scraped the right rear rim on a curb . The damage is minor as it is just curb rash on the stock Eneki 19" rims, but is very annoying to know that my once perfect car is no longer in that condition. I was wondering if there is any easy fix to this or if I need to take it to an Infiniti dealership for them to repair it. Also, my G37 is still under warranty and has yet to hit 50,000 miles, so I was also wondering if the warranty covers damage to the rims. (I did read through the whole warranty but it was not clearly stated ) I will try to post a picture ASAP and thanks in advance for the help

These are the people that I use: Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists | The World's Largest Wheel Repair Company

I've owned the car for < 2 years and I've used them 3 times, so far. Easy to curb these wheels.

^^^ This.

I was getting ready to recommend them - a guy in my neighborhood has the local franchise. He works out of a van, but often does stuff in his garage weekends and evenings. I've chatted with him a few times in his driveway and the work they do is pretty amazing.

Warranty covers manufacturing defects, won't cover stuff you damage, thats wear & tear, especially on wheels.

Especially if you take turns too tightly...
