Default more than curb rash

So I go got to make a u-turn and this car came a bit close to me and I took the turn a bit too close and hit the curb, yes many words were tossed out there. As I go to look a small piece of the lip looked like it was ripped off, more words tossed out there. Wish it was just curb rash but was more. I almost expect the answer to be get a new rim, but tossing it out there...can something like this be fixed?

Some places can fix it. I can't remember the name of the place in the Bay Area. If I can find it I'll post back in here

I've seen worse than that get fixed here locally, but I'm a long way from you. I'm sure somebody over there does it though.

Damn dude I got the same rims and screwed em up too. Bent the lips on both passenger rims and was pissed! Must be bad luck with those rims. I had to wait 6 months to get em too and now they are basically screwed unless I pay about 300 dollars to get em fixed. Take it to a repair guy and see what he says.
