For reference I had OEM machine face wheels (not the Camaro’s) redone for $125 each last summer.
This is why I posted here, thanks. I remember someone suggesting something like that years ago in the camaro5 forums.

Quotes that I got for fixing the curb rash was $225 per wheel.

My ex mother in-law, who still calls me her son in-law, even though her daughter remarried, let me use her interest free credit card to order wheels and tires.

I went the simple route and ordered OEM spec wheels and tires. Strada Perfetto 20x8.5 +25mm Wheels and Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS 245/40ZR20

That repair qoute is higher than I might've anticipated, but a lot of factors go into it, so maybe it was reasonable these days.

Regardless, I think you'll be happy with your new setup. I run DWS06 on my 'vert, and the overall improvement from the stock GoodYears was significant.
