I do not think that there is a way to remove curb rash without some serious machining, which would probably make that one rim appear different than the remaining wheels. Just follow silverbird's advice.

How does that remove curb rash exactly? I'm sure you would love a sarcastic response when you asked a question right?

As for the original post, depending on how bad the curbrash is you can try to sand it and get the wheel refinished.

I would assume theres no way to do it to chrome wheels, since you would need to get the sanded part rechromed. I dont know much about chroming but I think the whole wheel would need to be rechromed.
