So I performed some scouting around and turned up a local wheel re-finisher who would do the tricks of straightening out the wobble in the wheel and also correct the rash (at least as best as he could) for $200.

Below is before and after shots. Overall considering the combined damage of how badly it was bent and chewed up I would give it an 8 out of 10. You can def notice that the finish is a lighter shade of grey in the repaired area, but I surmise and reckon that it will be much less noticeable once mounted on the tire, significantly reducing the cringe meter to virtual trifle levels in comparison to before.

Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but $200 beats $600 every day of the week, and 100 out of 99 times.

The left front wheel also has a minor bit of rash that he will re-finish for $80, so I will swap out that wheel with the refinished one later this week.
