Any type of repair will never look OEM. I've had both, machining and filler/paint repair. In your case, the wheel will need to be machined since the surface damaged is machined.
What you will see if done correctly:
- Light machined edge. The portion machined will lose some material and upclose, you'll be able to see it.
- You will see a difference in texture/surface as the OE finish is hard to match.
- Long term you may see a slight color change depending on wheel cleaners etc.
My recommendation, since I'm personally anal, is to the find one OEM take off wheel on ebay and replace it. You can keep the removed wheel as a spare of sell it. Plus, the cost to properly repair vs buying a new wheel is almost the same.
