OP, Make sure you find a good shop with experience in these wheels, I drove 400 miles to get mine fixed because nobody in my area could match the finish. The alternative is to buy a new wheel which is just under a $1,000 USD. Make sure the dealer fully inspects your suspension when they do the alignment

It was just a curb mark but it was unfortunately a bit deep, so they just welded it to bring it back level with the rest of the wheel so they didn't have to cut too deep when doing the diamond cut
