Damaged my 17 inch rims, can it be fixed?

What? That's just your hubcap right? Even if's your wheel, relax, it's entirely normal? Don't be so uptight! Just sand and polish and maybe a little paint... There's not a Prius on the road with more that 100K that doesn't have some of this on every wheel...

 

The OP looks to have a US 5 model, which has the 17" aluminum rims, no covers. We have the same.

FWIW, one day (with tears in my eyes lol) I saw one of our rear rims had got a bit chewed on a curb. What I've done so far is daub it over with Toyota Touch-up Pen. We've got the silver car, and the rim color is a perfect match. Does not look too hot when you get close, but a cursory glance from 5~6 feet away and it'll pass. I guess I'm pretty nonchalant about it: my aim was just to arrest corrosion and make it look slightly more presentable.

Our previous second gen Civic Hybrid came with rims that had a machined front face. One got seriously chewed in an accident and the insurance adjusters authorized a machining and re-clearcoating of the front face. Worked out fine, but that wouldn't work with a molded rim.

 

I scraped my wheels also and the silver touch up paint works great.

 

We have our rims off through the winter, replaced by snow tires. There's a bodywork place that gets a lot of our business: I'll maybe run it by them, what they can do, how much. If it's more than half the price of a replacement rim, I do not know...

 

Sa177, I feel your pain, I caught a curb this morning as well, with my back passenger tire going slowly around a corner. I'll have to try Mendels remedy. But on a bright note my wife was happy that she didn't put the first 'ding' on our new car.

 

This can be fixed easily for less than $100, google some mobile professionals near your area.

Is corrosion a big deal with those alloy rims?
I also have some minimal cosmetic damage but did nothing about it.

 

Get a bottle of classic silver metallic touch up paint from the dealer, and apply very lightly to damaged area. You'll probably never notice it afterwards.
