Yeah right, I hate that.

Ask for a new rim if they are going to give you one, it would be easier than you getting it fixed.

It would be a lot easier to just get a new rim. Why not actually, at least you know that the paint would match among other things.

Take the $ it would cost to get a new rim. Use part of it to fix the rim, save the rest to cover the depreciation of the wheels since one is marred. You should have moved the wheel from one side to the other to see if the drifting changed and if the wheel wobble went along with it.
