OR, take it to a wheel repair facility and prepare for the rape-charge...
Actually... Yes. Why do you ask?
...and, if you spray just the area you sanded it'd prolly end up lookin like ***, so, you'd maybe hafta spray the whole wheel, to keep it even... Which leaves you with maybe one wheel not-quite the same color/shade/hue as the other three... Do you have a "spare" wheel you can swap in, and use the newly-painted one as your spare? I'm guessing no, or you would have done so, already. If you DO, GREAT!!! Problem solved. if not, now, ya gotta spray the other three, to match the newly sprayed one...
Hopefully you spent the insane amount of time necessary to prep the surface of the 1st wheel, properly, before you sprayed it... If not, strip it, and do it all over again... If so, good! Now, do it 3 more times...
Finished? Feel good about a job well-done? You should, after all that work. Congratulations.
Or, take it to a wheel repair shop, bend over, and prepare for the rape-charge...
(FTR, all of the above, BLUE-BOLD type was "implied" in my original reply. I'm jus lazy. For you, though, I re-replied, with all the little words included. Don't make me do it, again, please. I may be bored, and lazy, but I hate having to explain, in detail, when anyone with half-a-clue can figure out the implications in the truncated message on their own.)
For the *future* however, you might wanna invest in:

^^He caught me on one of my *merci-LESS* days... What can I say. IMHO, for a scratch THAT size, if you hafta ask for help, you're better off just paying somebody.
5-minutes with a dremel and a bottle of clear nail-polish...

One time, at Band-Camp, after a long afternoon/night of drinking and brats, I blew chunks the next morning...
Chunks is my dog!!!
Should I take my dog to the wheel guy and get a new car, too?
(Blew your engine! WOW! Did you burn your lips on the exhaust tips?!?!?)
