I was washing our three week old 99.5 1.8TQMS this weekend and notice four scrathes/gouges in the right rear rim (7-spoke). I don't remember hitting anything and neither does my wife. So I am done being upset and want to make it look good again. Can anyone help with the items below?

1.) Is there a touch up paint to keep the scratches from oxidizing?

2.) Can this be fixed for a reasonable price?

3.) Anyone have a used 7-spoke wheel?

4.) What does a new wheel cost?

Thanks

Supposedly, there are also ads in the back of car magazine for places that will make it look like new. I vaguely recall reading that the touchup paint for the silver A4 is a close match.

I had the car wash scratch my front rim. They had me take it to a repair shop that said they did not know of any paint made to touch up the Powder Coat on the wheel. They would have to strip the wheel to bare metal, repair the scrapes and re-Powder Coat. They could not gaurrantee a color match unless they ordered the powder from Audi. In the end they told me it would be cheaper to get a new wheel even though Audi charges $429 for it. The car wash paid for a new wheel.
