I bought the car in june. Debatting about powdercoating the stock wheels. But I have some rash on two rims that is pretty deep. Is there a way to fix it? Any ideas?

Define pretty deep. I had some nicks and gouges in my polished zr1 wheels. Probably .005-.01 deep. I got one of the those rounded grinding stones from Home depot and sanded out the gouge. If it is not too big of an area you can feather/blend it out over a large area. Go back with higher and higher grit sand paper and it is no longer noticeable.
