Default I Damaged My Rims Please Help!

Hello AudiWorlders,

I was cutoff the other day by a driver that doesn't have any idea about how ro merge. Anyway, while trying to aviod plowing into this idiot, I just barely hit the curb on on my passenger side. It did a pretty good job of scraping both of my passenger side Sport Package Rims. Through the paint and gouged the metal a bit - all cosmetic.

I'm looking for recommendations.

Should I get them repaired?
-If so, can anyone recommend a Rim Repair shop with which they have had good experience?
-How much should I expect to pay?

If I were going to replace these Rims with new (the exact sme rims).
-Where is the best place to get them?
-How much should I expect to pay?

Should I look for someone who is replacing thier stock sport rims and buy theirs?
-Again, what would be a fair price?

Any help is appreciated.

Default on the two passenger side rims the damage is more than just a scratch.

It's more like a gouge. The Rims are not bent or cracked though. The car still rides true.
