if your toddler does it sure...
but I thought it was implicit that we all deal with competent professionals. I've had many many wheels repaired and a) I cannot find any evidence of repair whatsoever and b) there is no impact on longevity.
In fact, they give it a very good cleaning so it comes out like brand spanking new.

I minorly scratched mine twice in the 1st 2 days of ownership...yah I felt sick
The trouble is should I change it out with my new wheel knowing the tire place would probably scratch the new one more installing the tire than the wheel thats scratched already.
I need some titanium touch up paint...is there a paint code?

Thanks for all the input all... i'll try to fix it first
I'm not too **** about minute details + plus cheap enough to give it a shot.
Someone's coming over to the house for $120 something. More important this saves me time which seems to be the more scarce resource...

I had an OEM BBS CH wheel repaired on my old S4
after hitting a huge rock on the road. A chunk
of the wheel fell off from the rim and went to a local place to repair it. Wasnt cheap, about 170 bucks, but the rim looked brand new after they were done with it. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was amazing. Find a good repair shop and you should be very satisfied.
