Help! Scraped wheels on my Saab!

Hi,
I have a 1999 9-3 SE with the 5-spoke wheels and although I don't even know when I did it, I apparently scraped up one of my front wheels when I was parking next to a curb.
Basically, the very outer lip of the wheel/rim sustained two abrasions -- around 3 inches each -- where the metal got scraped and is roughed up. Again, it's the outer lip...right where the tire meets up with the wheel.
1. Is there any way to fix this or at least smooth it out?? I didn't know if there was some sort of coating on the wheels or if I could use some type of very fine sandpaper or polishing compound to tone down the roughed-up metal.
2. Will these now be succeptible to rust? If so, is there anything special I can put on them to help reduce this??
Thanks for all your input
