Default Smashed my Volks in a curb help!

I don't have pics yet but to what extent can a rim like this be fixed? I have softball sized dents in both the inside area left rims. It looks like the center sections are fine but I'm think that I might have to buy two rims. Anyone haveing any great sales? This sucks I hope my insureance doesn't screw me hell I just bought new tires three weeks ago. I'll try to get some pics to help.

Well two of my really close friends had alot of problems. It's a little bit of a long story but both didn't get close to what the value of what they lost.

I'm afraid that the'll be like well these are a year old so there only worth half of what you paid.

The other part that sucks is if I get two new ones they'll look way better than the other two since they have where and tear. I guess i'll see what happens in a few days and see how they treat me. Jared

You'll be suprised what they can do these days. I've seen many wheels that looked completely trashed but a good shop can resurrect it from the dead. Of course depending on the damage the integrity of the wheel may be compromised, but if you don't track it should still be road worthy. I would at least look into it first before dropping some $$ and re buying some wheels.
