I wouldn’t think so, but not up on aluminum wheels and wheel repairing.
My well meaning, helpful so had a mishap with a roadside rock-outcropping.

Probably scrap. You might find a shop that can straighten it, but it will never be right.... meaning balance and a 'true' rotation.

I'd say repairable, since I know a man who specializes in wheel repair near by me, has perfect equipment. He's living just about 7 time zones from you. :rolleyes:

Wow if it did that to the wheel how did the tire fare?

The tire is alive & well and back on the truck. I know-I can’t believe it, either. I inspected the inside and out of the tire with a tire “expert”. Says it’s fine.
The new rim was $1,400- which promptly blew HD’s mind.
