You guys think I can fix this?

hey guys i was wondering if I can fix this rim, it's not bent that bad but stupid me, I ran over a dam curb today! ARGH! Anyone know if I can fix this myself? I tried hammering but the material is quite strong and won't budge.

At least it isnt that bad.. I would take it to a shop, don't risk making it worse by DIY.

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

hammering= DUMB. Don't try to cold work it, you'll probably crack it.
Take it somewhere that does wheel repair... they'll probably heat it up a bit then roll it out with a press. I don't know what they'll charge, but I'm sure its cheaper than a new wheel to fix something that small.

good I'm glad it will cost less than a new wheel, because according to wheelmax, they don't make mine in white anymore so I can't get new one to replace it. BTW I got the hammering idea from one of the posts on this forum.
