Please Help!! Scratched Rims..fix Or Buy New??

aww man...i slid on a patch of ice and went right into the side of a curb going 30mph. it only touched the curb for a second but did major damage. I read online that you can buff the scratches out with sand paper, fill it and repaint. Or should I just buy new stock rims? sorry the pics are kind of dark. took them at night, couldn't wait till morning....please help!!

Run don't walk to Wheel Wizard!!! These guys were one of the first in the country that started repairing alloy wheels. They are in Chamblee on Longview. The guy that started it owns a few High-Line body shops around town, doing RBM and Atlanta Classic's work exclusively, along with Jags, Aston Martin's, Ferrari, Rolls, Maybach, etc. . Don't even THINK about taking a regular car there. Sports and Imports is the shop(s) name. Absolutely the best work in the Southeast. (And yes I've been there more times than I can remember during the 18 yeas I owned a towing service on the South-side.

Here's the link... http://wheelwizard.com/

The manager is Wendell, known him for years and their work is INCREDIBLE!!! I know that normally their turnaround is less than a week. I asked about taking the 19" coupe wheels in and fixing a minor curb rash on both fronts, then polishing the lip and front of the spokes, then painting the inside of the wheels, the sides of the spokes and inside the lug nut holes and he told me unless something weird was going on he should be able to do them in 3 days!!! Can't remember the price, sorry... it was under $200 per I certainly seem to think... maybe something like $170 but don't quote me on it as I truly don't remember as the quote was over a year ago.
