Because i'm the luckiest guy in the world I discovered yesterday that there is a small chip (looks like a tiny bite mark) on the outer rim of my new aluminum wheel. It's nothing huge that will affect the wheel performance but it's quite the eyesore. Is there anything I can do about it? Sand it, fill it etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The wheel is silver painted. I'm not sure of the exact name of the color.
