Curbed my wheel really badly in a parking garage - fix or replace?

I'm so annoyed at myself. Was in a tight basement parking in JLT and scraped my front passenger wheel pretty badly against a concrete pillar. It's not just a scratch, there's actual gouges and the edge is kind of chewed up. The wheel itself doesn't seem bent because the car drives straight and no vibrations, but it looks terrible. I called a few places in Dubai and the quotes seemed pretty high for a repair. A coworker told me to look into the Best Rims Repair Service Sharjah because apparently the labor costs are lower there and some shops specialize in diamond cutting and welding repairs for alloy wheels. I'm trying to figure out if it's even worth fixing or if I should just buy a replacement rim. The car is a 2021 Lexus so not super exotic but still, I want it to look right. Has anyone here had a badly curbed wheel repaired in Sharjah and been happy with the result? I'm worried about the structural integrity after welding and whether the finish will match the other three wheels exactly. Also curious how long the repair takes because I need the car daily. Any recommendations for specific shops you've personally used would be great. Thanks.
