There are some places that can make small repairs without dismounting the tire, but it is rash near the tire they probably can't do this.

I did the same thing to my G35 last year when I brushed a large granite curb, was hating myself for a while.
No sense hating myself, its life. Im just happy its nothing on the paint is all.

Its near the tire, and its a bit of a gouge, so Im sure it'll need sanded, filled, and painted. I can deal with that. Any idea how much this kind of stuff usually costs?

I only hated myself for like a week, then I got over it. I didn't have a single scratch for 2 years before that.

Probably about $200. Maybe a little less given the area affected is so small. They should be able to match and blend rather than painting the whole wheel.
