yep! You can get them re straightened but considering its buckled right at the front face of the rim, not sure if they would be able to do it. Either way, i see this as a perfect opportunity to say
"you battered my rim, im going to give yours a battering!"

Get some photos of the pot hole and the wheel and take them to the cuntcil, get them to pay for it

Take some clear pictures and some pictures of the pothole and report it to your local council.
When I did it to one of my wheels on my Corsa B they paid for my wheel and a brand new tyre

Having worked in various garages since leaving school 10 yr ago... it's always the missus that does stuff like this... never the man. Hmmm

thats not a pot hole D: thats an abysis! Isnt there a thing where you can get the council to pay? IIRC the 'pothole' has to be a certain size and that is much much bigger than said size!
