Looks like you have the OEM wheel, I would just dremel it down to smooth it out. Or use 200 grit wet sand it, then go all the way up to 2000 grit to smooth it out further. Its still fixable!
If you have it touched up it could cost anywhere between $150-500 just depends where you go. Just be careful if you do, the ones who are lazy will put bondo on your wheels and it will eventually come off since its not meant for wheels. Not to mention your balancing will be off.

What are my DIY options here?

i curbed my front passenger g-spider the other week. it's painted liquid graphite or something and i was quoted 200 dollars to fix something a bit larger than what the OP posted. super annoyed - i think i'll just live with it for awhile.

Update: Looks like most shops in my area charge $125-150 per wheel. When I took the car to the dealer for an alignment they had a guy do it for $90/wheel. They also fixed some minor damage on two other wheels for free. I'm very happy with the service.
