i would replace it. Sometimes, wheels are hard to balance once they are bent.

ZCP wheels are cast so if they "bend", I wouldn't even think of fixing it.

Yeah, getting it replaced. well what happened was some drunk driver merged into my lane without signaling, which forced me to run over the mid section of the freeway..

A good quality repair will run a few hundred anyway, so better to just replace it. I have had alloy wheels repaired before when there was no replacement possible, but other than that I replace if damaged.
