Not necessarily. I had a badly bent fancy Italian wheel on my Lexus (hit 2 pot holes, the first at about 40 mph, and the second at about 10 mph as I was limping home! It was dark and raining.). Two flat areas on the wheel.
Two places I took it to, told me it was impossible to fix. Since the wheel was no longer made, I could not find a replacement. As a last resort, I drove about 40 miles to a Wheels America location, and they said they could likely fix it.
Two days later, I had a nice round wheel again, and it only cost $150 (a fraction of the cost of that wheel). I then had to find a replacement tire (as the initial impact had put a bulge in the sidewall), for a tire that was no longer made (which I did find on eBay).
That wheel is still good, and it was repaired about 10 years ago (so maybe Wheels America's price has gone up, but they're worth a shot.
Oops, I see the OP is not in the US. But try searching, you may find a comparable company locally to do a repair.
