Ouch...

I'd keep an eye on Craigslist and ebaY.

Also, could you maybe resize the pics a little?

Looks like you may need a new tire, don't know where your from but call around to local bodyshops, dealers and tire/rim places, they usually know of places that refinish rims

Get a tube of putty, a sand paper, and the matching wheel paint (everything from walmart). Apply the putty on the area(s) where there are deep chips and scratches. Let it dry and sand it. Repeat the process as necessary. Now just paint the wheel. As far as the bent part goes it shouldn't cost more than $150 to bring it back in to shape. We get alot of costumers with bent like those and we get them fixed under $200. Go to after market wheels shops some of them do these kind of things for cheap.
I had same thing happen to mine and after trying this method i couldn't tell where it was on the wheel.

I got mine fixed at this place:

http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/

$100 per wheel. Not too bad. They come to your place and fix it. Great for lazy schmucks.

Sorry about the rim, I think is fixable.
got a question, did not you bend anything in the suspention? I hit curb too last week and the dealer says the control arm is bended, I saw the car when it was up and didn't seem bended, how can I make sure the dealer doesn't want to rob me; is there a way to measure the arm for imperfections?

They are fixable, local places would be cheaper. I know around me in the Bronx I got a similar bend fixed for $30, many places will refinish an entire wheel for $100.

That tire looks like it will have to be replaced also, at high speeds and especially during turns you will be highly susceptible to a side wall blowout. Sucks about the damage...

Here ya go. This is a local shop here in Spring. They do pretty good work. You're gonna need a rim & tire to ride on til it gets fixed though.
