Thanks for the advice / contacts guys!
I rang around yesterday - I'm looking at between $70 and $150 to get it repaired if its only cosmetic. As its just an OEM wheel (which i paid $125 for with a tyre) its probably not worth it. I can get a replacment wheel for $130 - $150, so I'll do that and keep this one as a spare.
I sprayed my dodgy job with dodgy $2 paint from supercheap. Its not quite right... but neither is using bog on a wheel in the first place! The metal is pushed up around the edges of the hole, but you wouldn't notice unless you looked for it. I would grind it back if I have to use it again. Anyway, it looks a little better than having a gaping hole.
After I polish up where the sandpaper grazed the wheel it shouldn't be too noticable.
