No you shouldn't need a new alloy, I think that can be refurbished back to life

where are you - someone will probably be able to recommend somewhere more locally. I actually think that may be repairable by one of the mobile smart repair people - they push the tyre back, repair the damage, and then paint only the damaged area. Usually works out far cheaper than having the trye removed, the entire wheel blasted, repaired, and then recoated/painted.

That's definitely do-able. I run my own business doing these and other cosmetic stuff etc. all the time. Don't know where you're at but lots of specialists will sort it, no problem.
