Get it refurbished sooner rather than later, you can just have the one wheel done and they can colour match.
18x7.5" standardly £100-£150 for a good job. Depends how badly curbed though.

Where are you from?? rarther than a smary repair I would go for a full refurb, I had a wheel done and it cost £50, http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ highly reccomend the dealer in Wolverhampton but cant speak for the others. There is another one that will collect and redeliver the next day.

I would be devastated as well. I would rather have flu for a fortnight than kerb one of my alloys. Given the nature of this forum, I suspect I'm not alone in this thinking.
I kerbed my NSF 2 weeks after delivery, and didn't bother sorting it at the time. As it happens, someone then crashed into the whole nearside (including said wheel) 6 weeks later, so it then got a full refurb anyway under the other driver's insurance along with the rest of the repairs.
Don't take my advice though... bit of an extreme way to do it.

Feel for ya.
You may struggle to get a clean repair as anyone with the machined titanium alloys will know they have a small grooves in the face (similar to the cupra 280 - see Syphon's similar problem here: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=398761)
Fortunately it is not as defined as the cupra's 19" and you'd need to be close up to see it.

Aye you for real?
Mercedes garage where I got the car from sorted mine for £70 which I thought was expensive
my advise is dont bother about it!!
after all when you are inside you do not see it, when it rolls others do not see it!!

Yes. I don't understand why you're surprised?
Baring in mind at this point no pictures had been posted (sounded a lot worse than it was looking).
You have to take into account wheel size, removal/replacement if tyres, acid dipping, sanding, straightening, powder-coating, masking/spraying/diamond cutting/polishing (if any sort of custom finish), regiment of tyres and balancing.
£100+ for a single wheel refurb when 18" or above is not at all uncommon. There are certain companies as well who I'd go nowhere near after seeing the quality of their work. One of which has already been mentioned in this thread.
Just like with body/paint work you tend to get what you pay for. To a point.
