That can be fixed, just google alloy wheel repair and give a
few company's a bell, sometimes you are cheaper buying a new wheel
if you can get them

That was a nasty hit, not just some scratching along...

I would only have that repaired if the company uses x-ray technology to check for micro-cracks.

IMO best to throw it away...

I'd be wary of repairing a wheel that had that much damage. Some people will say it's ok, but I wouldn't take the risk.

It may look OK and hold air, but there's no way of knowing if it'd be as strong as it was originally - and I wouldn't want to find out that it wasn't!

I was in a meeting the other day being showed some wheel repair equipment. Can use penetration die on the wheel. 3 stage set that will highlight hairline cracks and damage

Wouldn't even bother looking at mending it. To repair it properly would likely be more than replacing the rim anyway.
