Default alloy wheel damage

My daughter has managed to damage her 2014 lancer GSR 18" alloy rim. See attached photos. She will need a new tyre as the sidewall has a chunk out of it but I was wondering if people see any issue with continuing to use the alloy rim as is. I am inclined to think it may just be aesthetic damage which can be attended to later. I posted on another forum I am a member of and the two replies I got suggested this

I am hoping to drive to Melbourne to lend her my second car while i get new tyres and a service done on her car near her.

What do people think of the damage and would a mobile touch up be an option or should i go to an alloy wheel repair business. I have a recommended alloy repair place but they are closed on holiday at present and they would need the wheel for a few days as they are flat out.

Was quite shocked at he price Mitsubishi want for a new wheel - $1140.
