Yeah I don’t even know where it came from. The tire wasn’t even scuffed. I knew it was a risk with these rims… the profile of the 22” gmc rim and tire sidewall is such that this was bound to happen. Never scuffed a rim in my 20+ years of driving.Gloss black nail polish seems to do the job for me every time. But that's because I'm very cautious about curb rash, and tend to make wider right turns.
Curb heights vary, so there's no safe sidewall height regardless. The only thing that might save grace is having a wide tire on a narrow rim. At least the curb will hit the tire before the rim. But even then, you run the risk of blowing out the tire... either way, you can't win.Yeah I don’t even know where it came from. The tire wasn’t even scuffed.

Gloss black nail polish is more "permanent" and won't come off so easily in most atmospheric conditions.I bought giant black Sharpies on Amazon. For my Corvette black wheels. Worked great.
Agreed but given the somewhat limited scuff, I think that would be overkill for my situation.The best result would be a wheel repair shop. They will match it to the paint code and sand/prime it.
All the other suggestions on here would make it look better buts it’s not going to be “good” repair meaning people can tell if they looked at your wheel.
