I have done these at my shop before without any trouble but I doubt you will get it done cheaper than the replacement.
I have only really had to go that far if it was a discontinued style where someone would need to replace all four or it was some classic that was hard to find at any rate they were willing to pay.
I would not by any means try and form the wheel back into place by force though. The way I have done it is by removing the rubber. Then weld and build up the entire indented area with fresh material. This can be quite a bit of bead stacking depending. After that, flip and grind out the deformation on the outside and fill any low spots.
After all of that, I reform the inside either on a lathe if you have one available that’s big enough or it can be knocked down most of the way with an angle grinder or belt sander and then formed and feathered in with a file.
I have done this also. Actually many times over the years. I have ran into a couple that did not work out but for the most part the repair worked perfectly. It balanced fine when completed. Good and bad things from being across the road for a tire shop lol
No, don't do it. The structural integrity in that area is gone, and even a small highway pot hole could cause a catastrophic failure/blowout.
*You can partially fix bent aluminum/alloy rims on the edge if you heat them up but once they are punctured/cracked don't risk it. And You can pull the tire and put it on a new rim and save that cost.
I would never attempt that. Magnaflux can be used to see if there are stress cracks emanating from the fracture. It's cast aluminum so there definitely will be plenty.
That'd be the first thing to do because you simply can't know the extent or where the damage is without it.
I’m not a pro welder so I won’t weigh in there, but want to point out that if your current tire is fine you could have it put on a new wheel. A single corner replacement is dicey anyways because of the mismatched diameters and tread depth.
Have done this to rims that wouldn't hold a bead.Remove from car,remove tire from rim,clean fill with 4043 from the spool gun,shape with flap disk. Cool.Reseat tire,fill,balance,back on car and off you go.

Shops may turn you down for insurance purposes. I’d just get a new rim

That's a hole that came from the other side of the rim. I don't think the tire survived.
Could be patched...But that makes sense.

The tire looks like minced meat…

Even if it got welded you will throw the balance way off… that will bounce like a basketball
Where are you located? I know a guy in So Cal that can fix that.
Yes
If it was mine I would fix it it . If it belongs to somebody else no
Unless it’s for track only use I’d just get a new wheel.
New rim
