Get rid of the g/f or the wife?
I swore lots...
Refurb all 4 and get rid of the diamond cut face and have them powdercoated one colour. They will all be suffering from white worm in 12 months anyway!
Rub the scuffs out with Emery cloth and carry on driving.
Referb them when they are totally smashed up.

Real world advice. Maybe whack them with a clear coat from a rattle can after you’ve rubbed the scuff out to help them last a bit longer before refurb!

Give yourself a good talking to.
I paid £105 to get a slight kerbing repaired and the wheel powder coated (it wasn’t diamond cut, but I think the price would be the same if you went for an all-over coating). That would be quite a bill for all 4 wheels, so you might want to get it refurbed with the same finish. Using different wheels for winter might keep the white worm at bay longer.
Mrs D kerbed a wheel on a literally brand new set of diamond cut alloys I bought for her Golf , fitted just 3 hours on enquiring with a couple of refurb places diamond cut are expensive to machine back and only if there is enough material to do so, costs were £100-£120 . For comparison I had a whole set of 4 19” BMW wheels powder coated for £380 with colour change.
I just as above stated rubbed the damage with emery so it looked less , MrsD has since kerbed them twice more . Never again with diamond cut wheels and Mrs D is on her final warning improvement notice
