Soooooo
Managed to do this yesterday and not sure what to do...
It's rear passenger side...

I can just leave it as it is...
Repair for $120...
Or replace with new rim for $350...

******* annoying....

Over the last last 15 years I never scrached a wheel and then in last 12 months managed to do it twice...
If it was me I WONT SLEEP AT NIGHT. I'm not sleep to good now all because my Caprice V has scratches under the front BAR itself (the previous owner done it) so I I take it to my Spay Painter to fix so what do I tell the Cops is the reason why I'm driving during this Covid-19 crisis ?.

It just occured to me that the stock 18" spare will not fit brembo brakes....soooo new wheel it is ...
I was thinking this when you mentioned what your spare was , so a new wheel makes sense
EDIT : It cost me $260 to get mine repainted after a scratch so even $350 for a rim is ok . When I was chasing a spare I bought a set for $1100 then sold what I didn't need , now that's extreme.
EDIT 2: And even with a new rim i would still fix the spare , that's how much it would bug me
