Don't worry
VisualEcho. Stone chips and rim rash: we hate it but sooner or later those things may happen. The car is used for its purpose: driving. Consider it a 'badge of honor' or 'patina'. The wheel is 'baptized' now. Been there, seen that, done that and got over it.
Of course
no-one notices it (and if they do, they wouldn't bother anyway), but of course we
know it's there and notice it. Brake dust mostly hides it fairly quickly (the fringe benefit of conventional brakes over M-CCB, haha).
Consider bringing your wheel to a competent wheel repair shop. The fix ain't expensive at all and they can get it back to 95%.
