Anyways my question for you guys is if the rim is repairable. Someone said that because the tire still holds air that the rim AND tire can be salvaged/repaired back into usable condition. I frankly don't know if I trust him. Anyways like I asked before, is it repairable and where could I get it done.

Thanks in advance,
Timay

Just throw it out. Getting another one will be 3x cheaper than repairing that.
I'd say it's beyond repair anyways.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for the input!

Sorry for your loss buddy, but that doesn't look like pothole damage, not with the tire undamaged and not with this kind of wheel damage. I'd say he hit/climbed a curb real hard. Yeah if that was my friend, he'd be on a black list now.

That's a $50 rim, there is no need to repair it.

$50 where!?

I've seen em about $180 to $155 and a little bit lower than that on eBay

Wow...

There's not much of a market for European cars up here so I couldn't buy locally like that.

Maybe I'll get lucky and find a deal like that though

It would not be able to be repaired. Find a new wheel.
