Scratched Rim

I have a C4S with Turbo II wheels. Just recently scratched one on a curb. Specifically, I scratched the outer edge, where the rim and the tire meet. I heard that it can be fixed (perhaps by smoothing it out) rather than get a new rim altogether. Can it really be done?

Thanks.

It can be fixed if it is not to bad... If you don't know anyone your dealer will... My wife curbed her AMG wheel and we had it repaired for under $100 and you could not even tell it was ever damaged.
