Thanks all - good ideas on where to get it fixed. 
I think it can be repaired just-like-new, but I am calling Garry at Newport BMW first thing in the morning and will order a new wheel. Then I will have the curbed one sent out for repair. That way, I will have a perfect new wheel to match all the others, plus a clean spare for when I do it again. (Hat tip Alex).
