bring it to a tire wheel repair shop.

Will prob cost half of what a new rim will cost you and look just as good.

I don't know much about wheel repair.

On some wheels that are 3 or 4 thousand dollars apiece, a strip of all paint, a welded on piece of alloy to keep the weight and repair the gouge and then a repaint and bake to make the finished product very high quality. This is what I think a good safe repair is.

Some repairs use an epoxy to build up the gouge and then sanded to shape. And some repairs simply sand away material to give a smooth appearance that after being painted, close inspection will show the damage site.

I at this point I wouldn't fix it. And I think a lot of very powerful very expensive road cars owned by people that know aren't always anxious to make cosmetic repairs on curbed wheels.

doesn't look that bad...

Dremel it down so its flat and flush and repaint. Or just buy new, keep this as a spare with a tire on it.

Dremel, really? Find a woodworker, he or she will have better tools to smooth that scrape.

This is a relatively routine fix for a wheel repair shop. Luckily, your wheels don't have something like brush work on the faces, otherwise it would cost an arm and a leg to repair. Gloss Black should be relatively simple. Just a matter of weighing the cost/benefits to repair or replace.

I had a similar curb rash about 3" in length on my G37 hypersilver wheel and a local wheel repair shop (Wheelkraft NW) did an amazing job out of their mobile truck while I was at work. They dismounted tire, repaired and repainted the wheel, and remounted the tire all for $125. The hypersilver was an exact match!
