I have some on my front driver side after some evasive action with a cab at the airport here...could
have been alot worse. I know most dealers offer rim repair some as little as 75 a wheel.

Depends where you are ...
most high end dealers have reliable places for wheel repair where (if they use correct matching paint - make sure they do), the repair is undetectable. We had two of my BMW's wheels repaired and repainted - job is excellent, except that the paint is not a perfect match.
That's why, when I bought my car, I added a tire and wheel insurance package for around $500 that covers me for repair or replacement of any wheel or rim for 5 years, regardless of why it was damaged - even covers curb rash! Good luck - hope it comes out right - I know how you're feeling.
