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:

$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?

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...
