Default Is this wheel fixable?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/79666/dscn0154.jpg"></center><p>this was from the accident i was in a few months ago, wondering if this wheel still has life. It holds air just fine, but its bent into the tire. How much apporoximately would it cost to fix?

Default Yes. Wheel Technologies.
They will weld on that outer layer new metal and machine it back down again. Did it to two of my Rondells.

I inherited a spare wheel with a hole chunk of lip missing and it was repaired ($$)

probably a good idea to take the tire off and buy a new wheel.

Default I had curb rash almost as bad fixed.
As has already been mentioned, they weld up the lip and then machine it down. Cost me $150.
