Default Wheel repair

A poor job parallel parking on my part led to a pretty noticeable scratch on the rear passenger wheel. I'm sure this kind of thing can be repaired, but I haven't the slightest idea where. Any thoughts from the group, and any estimates on a cost? Also, how long the repair might take (how long will I be without the car?)

Thank you much!

Call a high end body shop in your area and ask who they use. Usually takes 1-2 days. The mobile guys can get it done faster but results are not as good

I find the dealers and body shops use the mobile guys but add their mark up. My guy charges me same as he does dealer, $75. Dealer marks up to $125.

The specialty wheel shop here now charges $125 per wheel. Used to be like $45 per blemish if only small, but looks like no longer offered.
