Smash it with a copper hammer and keep it as a spare.
ALPHA and Ashby like this.

Well, for anyone who is still interested, I priced up a new wheel, only $230 so I was like fu#k it, and ordered one, for that price it just wasn't worth messing around with the damaged one, the wheel shop also told me the tyre looks fine which saved me a bit too so overall I'm happy
