That looks like it can be repaired.
The tire, however, is shot.

Bent fuchs are easily repairable. My rim guy has saved bends with up to 1 inch deviation. What is not repairable is cracks in the center. The lips are weldable, not the centers.

I'd have to agree with Emission. The tire's toast.

Since no one asked, what struck the wheel? Whatever it was is took out a nice rectangular chunk of rubber. By the way, the rim can be repaired.

Looks like it should be able to be repaired.

What?

The wheel- yes, but it's gonna take a mighty big plug to fix that tire!

Do like the NastyCar guys and just put duct tape on it. It should be fine for 200 hundred more left turns.

The rim can be fixed, but I don't think duct tape will fix that hole!!!
