Sorry to hear!!

I would def recommend a new wheel vs. trying to repair that one.

It's repairable but you have to send it out.
There are companies that specialize in doing that and you can never tell the difference when you get your wheel back. Amazing.
Check with your local body shops to see who they use...
In FL, I use Turbax (Miami).
Usually it cost about $150 so if your rim is less than that or the same, the point is moot.

Hmm.
Well the bead was basically exposed, so I took it off and have winters on for now..(although it's going to eat away the tread quickly..ugh.)
