Wheel Damage! Update w/Pics

I got my 300C in June. I just checked the wheels after getting the car washed, and they have the flaking finish with corrosion underneath. I have an appointment on Thursday and I'll mention it then, but I need some help:

Today, as I was pulling into a parking lot, there was a low-lying slab of concrete at the base of a support pillar that was situated next to my spot. I didn't see the cement base as I swung into the spot and CRUNCH. There's now a one to two inch gash on the very wheel that has the worst of the corrosion.

Will that damage preclude me from getting a replacement? Would they replace a damaged wheel? And in case they don't, how much is a replacement? I saw somewhere online that it's $399.95. And finally, if I make an insurance claim, will my rates go up?

THANKS
