No its not what i thought it was going to be a simple £4 puncture repair but a fukin buckled Kahn alloy!

Sorry for the quality, on my phone....

Any idea how much this will cost to straighten it out at a specialised place?

Took my wheel to a tyre place and he put my alloy in a big bucket, there were slight bubbles coming from where the buckle was. He moved the tyre out of the way and put some sealent there and its fine now but he said really you want to get it sorted....
