That sucks.

IMO any "repair" done on that will always be noticeable.

Looks like 2 piece wheels. Wonder what the manufacturer charges for a replacement wheel hoop. I think thats the way I would go unless it was just crazy expensive.

Do your research. There are shops out there that specialize in wheel damage and can make your wheel look like new. Good luck with it.

That looks pretty ez to repair. I use a sanding roll on a dremel to sand down the bad areas and than retouch up. this is substantial enough that the rim likely needs a repaint but someone with good experience likely could paint match and touch it up.
