Looks like a straightforward repair to me. Is the center section plastic? If so, it may be easier to get a replacement center section and then touch in the scrape on the wheel. Could have been worse. Could have been a chip out of the rim..

be thankful its not bent

you cant bend alloy back AFAIK

Agree with the centre cap - simpler to just buy a new one.

But the main wheel can be quickly repaired. I had a similar experience :

Try these guys, I haven't used them. But they are well recommended on another forum I regularly read. Plus they don't look too far away from you.
