Once the alloy is bent, let alone cracked, it is irrepairable in most cases. You will need a new wheel and tyre. Don't listen to anyone on here who says otherwise about the tyre because I'm sure there are cheap bastards on here who will tell me I'm wrong. High speed blowouts are not fun.

I agree, dont repair a buckled alloy, places will do it, but some refuse to as it weakens the metal as well.
