Wheel damaged - need advice

I have a 2011 shelby GT500 with the Track Pack. This option includes the upgraded wheels. Today i rubbed the passenger side front wheel up against a curb in a tight location. the result was a scrape along the rim at the tire bead about 8" long. it took the paint (or Powder Coat) off and roughed up the aluminum.

Does anyone know if these can be repaired? Or is the wheel toast.

First welcome and go to the intro section. It sounds like you have just a minor issue and I don't see why it can't be fixed. In the GTA there must be a few wheel repair places so just go on line to help your search out. Good luck
