I had a huge " dent" on the inside rim of a 19" mercedes S class alloy wheel repaired, it was pothole damage but did not crack the rim, a local ( used them for many years ) wheel refurb place straightened it and refinished the inside without having to refurb the diamond turned outside face.
I suggest you go to a refurb place and see what they think.I think mine was about £90 or £100 , still much cheaper than a replacment wheel.

I inherited a bent rim on my XK from the PO and then another on my F-Pace which had been repaired at the Jaguar Dealership who supplied the (used) vehicle.
XK - before straightening
F-PACE - dealer repair
The XK wheel was straightened and refinished by my local wheel specialist. However, knowing I'm a demanding customer, he did warn me I may not be entirely happy!
The tyre on the XK would lose 1- 2 psi pressure a month whilst the other three remained constant. This annoyed me sufficiently to buy a replacement (Kalimnos) wheel. The wheel on the F-Pace just didn't look right so I also bought a replacement (Razor) wheel.
Depends how particular you are. I just don't like faults on a vehicle.

I got the bent rim repaired I was shown the before and after in the repair shop on the wheel balancing machine but when I got on the highway same vibration like the rim was never repaired very disappointing
Next I will remove the rim in question and replace with an OEM 18" rim I have and I will see if the vibration on the highway is still there I might have more then one bent rim or the rim was not properly repaired

The tech said he can still see a slight bend but I would not notice it when driving he said once a rim is bent you cant fix it %100

I saw the rim spinning on the machine before and after I could clearly see the rim was bent after I could not tell if it was bent or not

But in your case, there may also be an issue with the tire after such a big hit.

I would take that with a grain of salt. It depends on their skill level and desire to do it right. The wheels I have had repair were perfectly round and no visible signs of the previous damage.

maybe he forgot to balance the rim after repair I will take it to my friends shop to check to see if the rim is balanced
