RE: hit a curb
if it's an aluminum rim without a clear coat or a steel rim you may be able to have a shop smooth it out or fill it or something.... if it's painted you could have it sanded down just a tiny bit then re-paint it to help "cover it"

RE: hit a curb
More than likely you also bent your rim. Take your car to a tire shop and have them rebalance that wheel to see if it's still straight, if it is you will save a tire and an alignment which is what it might end up needing!
