Rim Scratches

I was washing my car the other day and noticed these scratches only on the driver's front wheel. I have no idea how they got there? They are not deep but are very noticeable especially to me. Does anybody have a recommendation as to who can repair these scratches? Maybe a body shop??

Has anyone ever seen anything like these?

Thanks.

Maybe a gravel or rock road? To spread out for curb damage (trust me, I know what that looks like. Have it on both front wheels now)

I believe I have identified the culprit. I was up in Ohio and had some pretty nasty road scum. I ran it through the auto car wash. I guess I should be lucky that I only got scratches on one rim and not the paint.

I plan on taking it to a body shop to see if they can repair it.
