take it to a local rim shop... there's not much YOU can do except that. unless you are a professional rim repairer.

Drive thrus are small but usually have enough space to manuver. Were you distracted while you were driving?

How bad is the rash/damage? Pics. Local rim repair shop is probably the best solution.

how much does it usually cost to repair a rim rash? wouldnt it cost more since it is a specific color?

If possible, when time permits, try to take pics and post them, it would give folks a better idea of how bad the rash it.

if it's not too serious, just live with it.
it's pretty hard to keep rims in perfect condition anyway.
