The curb damage can be repaired to 98% new appearance for about $100-125. These are some good places to check in Chicago, but any good body shop should be able to do it too.

If it makes you feel better, we all have curbed wheels at one time or another. On my wife's Cayenne I got a brand new set of 21" SportPlus wheels had them stripped and powder coated black, mounted the tires with black wheel weights and valve stems, color matched the center caps and generally spent way to much time making sure they were perfect - on the second day she curbed the wheel and chunked the brand new winter tire.

Mmm... good point. If those are clear coated aluminum, they will be hard to repair.
Wheel Repair
These wheels are no problem to repair. The wheel shops that I deal with repair much much worse. They repair wheels with actual chunks of aluminum missing. They repair chrome, black chrome, hyper silver, clearcoat etc etc. Cost is anywhere from $120 to $160, depending if you need them to mount and dismount the tire. I get wheels repaired all the time. The guy I deal with is Wheels America in Miami.
