Road rash on the rim, where to fix it???

I was driving out of a parking spot earlier today and I took the turn too early, causing my rear passenger's side rim scrape against the curb. It's not that bad, but I gotta get it fixed, I also took a small chunk out of the tire. Anyone know of any places in north/central jersey who fix rims? What do they usually charge? Also need a tire, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Do a lot of people scrape there rims in these cars? There are tires that offer a rim guard.

The wheel guards are really only effective for a nice gently little rub but certainly can't protect from a hefty whack on a curb. My last car had a few nicks and dings after 90K and I had all four done by a mobile truck with excellent results. Looked like new. So far so good with my C.
