I've had the same issue, and around $100 and a phone call to a mobile wheel repair/recondition pro will make it look literally as good as new. It's amazing what they can do, even with the wheel on the car and without removing the tire.
Make sure you check references to make sure you have someone working on it that's done a few hundred wheels, and it'll be fine.

I had this happen to me, too. Looks almost exactly the same. My dealer will charge $150 to fix it and will give me a loaner if I do it at the same time as an oil change and have it ready the same day. Still thinking about it. In the meantime, I taped off the area damaged and lightly sanded it down to make it smoother. I then bought some automotive paint that was almost the same color and painted it. Then came back and put on a semi gloss clear coat. You can barely tell now. It has been 2 months and the paint is still holding strong.

Spot to Repair Wheels in d'a Jersey Shore!
Whats UP! I been there too! I live in Northeast Jersey, went to RAY Catena, Douglas, Ramsey, Englewood Infiniti etc for the quotes to get the car. So I called them all up, and asked for wheel repair. The funny thing is that all 4 Infiniti Dealerships used the same company ALLOY WHEEL REPAIR
About Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists
And check this out They charge from$ 150- $250 per wheel! I was like what The F**?
I called and asked why do they have different prices if the same company repairs the wheel, got no answer. Best deal is to call them directly as a client. They come to your house with their mobile trailer, etc. Lifetime warranty etc. Cant go wrong with them. Funny as well the dealer closest to me was going to charge me $180, but I had them come to my house instead, and paid $ 105

Oh wow man is that gate guard still alive?
This actually was going to be my question for somebody, that would be great if i could just drive to the place and they could fix it without having to take it off and bringing it somewhere etc.
Thats only $50 more than the quoted price above and includes loaner, I hope the dealer Im going to will make that deal, I'll jump.

Like someone else mentioned, pay the extra $50 and take it to the dealer and take advantage of the convenience of a loaner. Discount Tire f'd up my wheel big time. I took it to the dealer, got a loaner, picked up my G the next day, and dropped off the bill to Discount Tire.
