I was going to send my wheel out to my wheel guy, but then decided I'd try and fix it myself. I'm not a paint and body guy but I did have a module on it when I was in tech school. Finished result, damaged wheel, pre-paint version.
The process was basically:
Remove wheel, tape and wrap
Wash
Dry
200 grit paper
2000 grit paper
Clean with isopropyl alcohol
Hit with six coats of gloss black wheel paint.

It turned out surprisingly well but I think it needs a round of polishing to smooth out the finish. The whole process was about three hours.
