Fixable?

Do you think this wheel is fixable? The bent bit is actually split from the main body.

Looks like 4 for around £300 (17' DEZENT MOTION BLACK RENAULT CLIO 2 1.2 TO 1.8 | eBay UK) so maybe get one new one for about £100 delivered :-(

Sorry, that's a new one

Not sure I'd want that repaired, I think I'd be happier with a new one.

Fairly sure I'd want a new one, that bit's holding the tyre bead on while cornering hard, would you want a fatiguing metal bent back and bodged?

you'll probably find the wheel is buckled as well. I wouldn't be happy with a repair, and as you say for the price of £100 for a new one its not worth it in my mind.

Thanks guys - you've all confirmed what I was thinking!

I damaged another one yesterday! Not so bad this time but made a bit of a mess of it! Looks like the car needs to go back on 16s with some higher profile tyres!
