You can have it refinished which is where the damaged rim is stripped of the original paint and repainted. If you have deep pockets you can buy a new rim and sell your old damaged one. As for the tiny scratch on your bumper you can try Meguiars or Mothers branded scratch remover is which a very mild abrasive.

Look for a rim repair shop and also if you decide to powder coat wheels they will fix the rim before powder coating them.
