Where are you located? I found a guy in Tampa who's supposed to do amazing work - I'm assuming you'd need some kind of filler/weld to add a little material, then smoothed out and polished.

I've seen wheels fixed with the same level of damage so I know it's doable.

You've probably got access to some great resources being in CA, but this is a company I had bookmarked that look like they provide complete end-to-end (repair, new fasteners, all sorts of finishing, etc.):

They're in Monterey Park (not sure how that works for you), they appear to handle service on some high dollar wheels.

Hope that helps, good luck!

Yes, that can be fixed. Here was my damaged wheel and it's much worse than yours.

another question i posted this in another thread but imma ask it here also in this accident i also broke my lca and busted the ball joint on the upper control arm so i picked up the whole assembly with the hub and new rotor its all off of a 2005, my question is there a diff between my 2000 parts and the newer 2005 parts cause they dont fit, the 2005 lca is a bit bigger along with the bushings and the upper ca isnt wide enough for my mounting points
