Default curb rash

well yesterday i cut a turn a little loose trying to get close to the sidewalk to pick someone up. well my brand new (only on the car for a little less then a month) black c5 zo6 rims took the damage. the damage is on the outer lip. i will post pics if needed

how can make this look good? flat black spray paint?

when i get more money to spend im going to buy a new one. but if i can make it look good, i am not even going too bother.

Spray paint should work. Just match up the sheen...like flat,semi-gloss,or gloss. I would spray it and then wet sand etc to really make it blend in. You can only make it look better than the curb rash now. Might save you from getting a new wheel. Good luck with it.
