Unhappy Ooops!!! Is this repairable?!?!

I was driving this past weekend and glanced a curb with one
of my wheels. I can't believe that this had happened. The question is now, is this repairable? Or, should I have the wheel replaced?

Wishing all a Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Definitely repairable. Ask around you area for a wheel repair guy. Find a good one. They will make it look like it never happened.

Don't sweat it. It will take them less than an hour.

Had the same thing happen to me when the little lady was driving. It is repairable!!! It cost me $150.00. Any alloy wheel repair specialist can do this. I suggest you contact your local dealer and find out who they use. Thats how I found Alloy Wheel Specialist is through them... Good Luck, Kenny

Thanks for the replies!!! I was hoping that would be repairable.
It will still bother me that it happened. Thanks again!
