    You should be able to just use regular touch up paint on your wheels but I don't know if its really worth "fixing". Perhaps you could look into refinishing your wheels once every couple of years professionally to bring them back to a new look.

    if its just little scrapes from curbing them or whatever, normal touchup paint will work fine
    just be sure to let it dry completely and put a clear coat on top

    if you do a good job and the touchup paint matches it's very hard to tell unless you're specifically looking at that area for touchups.
