I've done the same thing with another car I had some time ago but I ended up buying a new wheel. Good luck.

Hard to really see the pic but a good wheel shop can probably fix it.

The wheels are either painted, anodized or powder coated that colour. I expect painted in your case. They will likely mount the wheel on a specialized wheel lathe and repair it then refinish it to match original.

Thanks for the help. That makes sense.
