Exonian - I feel your pain. Managed to take a chunk out of one of my BBS SRs the other day. Thankfully the same one as the wife kerbed a while ago, so not got 2 to refurb! £60 from a local wheel refurbers who assure me they can match the paint and the satin finish.
In other news, refitted my tuning box 
and also fitted an insert to stiffen up the bush on the dogbone mount - it's added a very slight amount of NVH but has definitely reduced the tramping
£60 is a very good price.
I think it's over £100 locally to me, although they are good they're not cheap!
Funnily enough I didn't get tramping with my GTI, nor on my friends company car (non PP) GTI even with tuning box fitted. I either got masses of pure wheel spin or nothing at all.
I probably just never drove them hard enough!
It's dark grey paint Ms B, the polished wheels came off the car ASAP when I got it.
I'll try and touch it in myself or get a smart repair at worst.
So it is! Wasn't thinking or looking properly, lol. Should be easy to disguise then with a bit of paint. At least its the NSF one although hopefully no further damage will occur but that one's always the danger wheel!
The first scratch (or kerbing) is always the worst!
At least I've got two other sets to fall back on if I get too depressed about it
