I had a small 3" scratch like that on one of my dynamics package rims. Within 2 weeks of getting my scatpack I curb rashed it while not paying attention parking at Home Depot. What I did....

I masked off the spot with painter's tape/newspaper.
Used a dremel tool to lightly sand the spot to make it smooth again.
Shot it with a couple of coats of semi-gloss black automotive paint.
Let it cure for a few hours before driving the car.

A day or two later, I went back over the edges with a lint free towel and some lacquer thinner to lightly rub the lines where the paint transitioned at the edge of the tape. After that, you couldn't really tell it had been painted unless you knew exactly where the spot was and your nose was within a foot of the wheel.

Best,

I wondered about using a Dremel but hesitant to suggest it.

I have a surface rust spot on the door of the Toyota. I’ve tried fixing it twice alcohol, dremel, heat, primer, touch up paint, heat. Both times didn’t last. Frustrating.

I had a rock chip on the hood of my old Kia Sorento that would do that. Ultimately, I used a tiny burr bit on the dremel and "dug out the area of the chip. It was about the diameter of a pencil eraser. I kept going until I got nothing but bright metal. I hit the area with Prep-sol and let it dry. I then masked it off and gave it a coat of primer. 15 mins later, I hit it with a coat of base coat. I repeated that until the level of the paint was nearly flush with the surrounding paint. Then I switched to clear coat and gave it two coats of that. That got it approximately level (perhaps a few thousandths higher) with the surrounding paint. I let that cure for a week or two and then hit the entire hood with fine grit polish and then wax. Like the wheel, if you know EXACTLY where to look you can eventually find it, but from more than a foot away, it's invisible. That was a couple of years ago and it's holding up. I got the paint from paintscratch.com and it matched very well.

Dealer parts is telling me my wheels are granite and there is no wheel touch up paint in that color.

The sticker (2021 SPWB) lists the wheels as:
20-inch x 11.0-inch Devil’s Rim Aluminum Wheels

What color should these Rims be?
Tire Wheel Car Vehicle Automotive tire

Seriously, make a temp repair using a large Sharpie. It will mask the damage until you make a permanent repair.

no point of paying eventually it will happen again minimum they are going to charge you $130 per wheel my solution was this >>
Mopar Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Low... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T9ZV2XQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have the upgraded option for rims on my widebody scat so they are like a Matt/gloss black finish this worked perfect can’t notice unless your really looking for it
