Default Wheel Repair Possible?

So I was hit a while back by some idiot who didn't feel like yielding to make a left. Now I have 3 perfect condition TE37's and one badly damaged one. Is it possible or even recommended/safe to have it repaired?

The image is attached... Any input would be greatly appreciated!

WTF no. It would cost you more than the wheel was brand new to fix it

that wheel's done bro.. you'd have to heat it up a lot to get it back to normal which will fatigue your wheel.. best option is to get a new one so you wont have issues in the future.
