Any do it yourself kits available to repair curb rash on my wheels? Original BMW 16' alloys. What about doing a little grinding and polishing?..

I would suggest a little test on the back edge of the wheel. I know that you won't have it right next to the factory finish but you'll probably get a pretty good idea if this is a valid idea or a bad one.
Good luck, Chris
show me pics and I will tell you exactly what to do... I have seen where people worsen rash by trying to grind or buff... be careful
the proper fix is to weld in a new bead and then turn it down to match the rest, it can be easily done to be perfectly like new.
