Default Damaged alloy wheel

My front alloy has been kerbed about 6" just on the edge of the rim.

Anyone now the best way to deal with this i.e. repair or new alloy to use as a spare (also an idea on cost would be very useful!)

Thanks in advance.

p.s the wheel is the standard silver 05 wrx alloy type 17" and my old man kerbed it this morning!!!

Cheers, repair sounds like the best option. My only worry is that just doing one wheel may make it look a bit too new and stand out from the others? It will soon dull I suppose.

Out of interest anyone know the cost of a new alloy?
