That must be a bad ding if you can't repair it, well done for being honest I'd have blamed that on the misses

ebay should have loads of genuine rotors. Aren't they the same size as the RS5 wheels? i.e 20x9 ET26 5x112 centre bore 66.6?

ebay.de have loads if you search for 'Audi RS5 20 alufelgen'
Genuine ones would normally be called 'original' but some genuine ones don't always state this. You can normally tell if they have the audi part number stamped on them.

A quick search finds this one which says new but the photo shows tiny marks for EUR499:

Or this new one for EUR699 plus EUR25 for delivery:

Alternative is to buy a temporary wheel 'that fits' to have the other repaired.

Also don't forget to repair the old wheel and you can sell it to recoup some cost.
Could almost break even.

I can't see mine surviving the winter intact either. I've done well not to curb them in the first 10k miles
