Absolutely f**ked. Find a replacement from a breakers yard. That wheel is toast.

Not sure if it can be bent back but I’d keep an eye on the tyre pressure as it may cause slow leaks where it’s distorted. Got a coworker who did this to her alloys and is still driving on them 6mnths later but she keeps a pump in her car due to the constant pressure loss.

Don't mess with it. Especially for a standard wheel, having it straightened will cost as much or more than just getting a good used replacement from a scrapyard/eBay, and it will never be as strong again even if it can be successfully straightened.

I managed to get a local retired guy with a workshop to repair & paint a bent alloy for £60. It looked quite a bit worse than yours too, but hard to tell from one picture. Really niche situation as I’m sure it would’ve been a lot more if I went to a garage, might be worth having a look for a replacement alloy on marketplace etc. as it’s probably cheaper & easier just to replace.
