I saw a while back somone posted instructions using bondo, sanding it, and then painting over it with color matched paint. You should do a search and try to find, it didnt look too hard.

If the scratches aren't too deep, try powdercoating them. Most places will sandblast them relatively smooth then powdercoat the rim.

Powdercoating can be more expensive then your other alternatives, but it will give you the option to change the color of your wheels. Most powdercoating places offer black, gold, bronze, gunmetal, anthracite, etc... or silver if you want to keep the stock look (but if you are going to do that, might as well look at other solutions).
