: Same thing happened to me on my Schnitzer 18" yesterday...just a small curb scrape a couple inch's long, but long enough. I don't know if it will rust or anything if I don't touch it up or seal it....? Will that happen. Please help?

Aluminum alloy will not rust. It will oxydize and look whitish but not rust like steel or iron. I think it's safe to say that your wheels will not be eaten away so not to worry. I don't know if the paint will easily chip off now though.
