If I had to guess I would say yes. However my opinion does not matter. Email those pics or take the rim to a rim repair shop. Let them determine if it can be fixed or not, after all they are professionals and they are the ones that are going to be doing the work. Their's is the opinon that matters.

Cheers.

 

IF its not cracked on the back where the bead seats then Yes, but it would distort the paint/need repainted. I've fixed many of those by hand its just very time consuming and you need access to something to spin the wheel on to check for straightness. I work in a shop that does Tire balancing/mounting so I have access to the things that help a ton with the process.

How I do it/Have done it in the past.

Heat, and a very big soft face dead blow hammer
- - - - - -
1- Heat it up (not a ton, just enough to make it slightly more flexible than what it is...forged aluminum or any mix of aluminum and magnesium is VERY brittle...if you do this wrong it'll kill the wheel.
2- With the wheel clamped in a tire mounting machine take your dead blow hammer and hit it as hard as you can, keeping it warm as you go. It takes alot of time and checking to make sure it's all straight but it's better than buying a new wheel(sometimes)
3- after all that you're going to need the wheel resurfaced either spraypaint or have it professionally done.

There are wheel/tire shops that will do this although some will not depending on the damage, I could fix it to be 95% as good as it was new...I've done it quite a few times.

After thats fixed, you have to worry about the entire wheel being physically bent...meaning it would wobble side to side when bolted on the car as hitting something hard enough to do that much damage could likley warp the entire wheel/spokes.

Good luck with the repair, those aren't cheap to replace...

 

more than likely the wheel is going to have a woble.. it is not going to be straight...

Thanks for the reply guys. I would buy another one but these are 18"s and cost alot more than to have it fixed.

Froth - you are the man. I wish you lived near by so I could pay you to do it. Unfortunetly I have zero access to what you just said.
