A wheel repair shop should be able to fix that, but my word how would you not know that happened.

Damn drunk drivers!JK If you hammer that back in to place as good as you can and have someone weld it it should be ok i think. If not keep it as a decoration for the garage. But wondering.... how do you manage to hit the inside of the rim like that?

A chunk isn't missing... the inner wheel lip just broke and peeled back.

I agree, a wheel repair shop could fix that, but damn, he needs to make sure they do a great job on it or he'll be in a lot of trouble.

Maybe I'm too careful, but I wouldn't even trust that wheel after it had been to a repair shop! Never seen anything like that!
