Default Is this fixable?
Well, I ended up spinning-out yesterday. Hit the center median and ended up on it. My rim and tire got messed up pretty good. Is this fixable or should I start looking for a new rim?

Ive seen worse fixed, but now is a good time to upgrade from the snowflakes.

I think the rim is toast, once they bend like that, they will easily snap. I am not a wheel repair guy, but if it were me I would replace it.

I'm guessing it would probably be less expensive to find a good used replacement wheel than to have that one repaired.

Certainly repairable. Mine were much worse from daily driving and Glenns in Tampa squared everything away and at a reasonable price too.

But if you can afford it, I'd use it as an excue to upgrade if you want to as well.
