I do'nt think it would ever be right again... if the weight were just a couple oucnes off out of balance, it would mess up. that tire would never wear right... the car would ride rough. i think it's time for a new one.

yeah i agree, that wheel is scrap metal. it could be repaired if you can find every piece but its structurally unsound. and the weight would never be right. insurance time

It don't take much damage to totally write-off a nice rim. What you have there is way too much. Sorry you scrapped your pretty wheel; hope you can find a replacement for it without needing to buy more than one.
