Default Curbed My Rim

Over the weekend as I was in a rush to clock in time for work. I choose to park far away from everyone and where I parked was a curbed. As I parked, I turned in to close and curbed my right rear wheel. I was devastated with what happened, but I had to run inside to clock in because my job picky on being on time. So I finally had the chance to take some pictures today and I was wondering if it'll be worth it to fix or should I just leave it alone? Is it even possible to fix and how much would it cost to fix?!

He fixed mine in about an hour. I think he charges ~$150 or so. BUT, when I bought my S the curb damamge was worse than your pic and you couldn't even tell when he was done. Color match was perfect. (I have different rims now)
here was the rim that he fixed
