Wheel repair it a BIG business. Depending on the damage will determine the cost and whether it's better to go with a repair or replace the wheel. I had minor damage to one wheel. The cost was $100. I wasn't happy with the results. I took it back two weeks later for a second attempt. Just as bad if not worse. Only had to pay $50 total. Had problems with the paint and grit in the paint. Based on the experience level of the person doing the work will determine the results. Chances are you can find a SLK 350 replacement wheel cheap either on eBay or on the three MB classified sections.

Here in Colorado, Woody's wheel works does a good job at a decent price, it can be fixed to look brand new, just have to look around to find the right place.

My suggestions, given that was just your first day, is similar to when you curb rash the front bumper. Wait a while. You WILL do it again (and again), until you develop new habits.

You can make the rim rash look a LITTLE better while waiting to finish your education by using some fine grit sandpaper to take the rough edges out of the gash.

I had a similar damage on the BMW 323i when my teenage kids drove it. I used a portable motor tool (like Dremel) at lower speed (5000 rpm) and fine grit sanding head followed by polishing stone. It takes out the rough ridges but one can still see the damage albeit may be less noticable. I didn't have it repaired by the wheel and tire shop as the kids are still driving the car.
