Is this wheel usable after pothole damage?

[SteBrown91]

Hit a pothole this morning which burst my tyre and has bent the rim. Tyre shop by work seems to think the wheel is fine and will just need hammering a bit straighter, I'm not convinced as there are stress cracks in the rim. Don't want to risk it failing or hitting it on a pothole again and making it much worse. So I am asking the PH community

Wheel is an 18 inch MK7 GTD wheel (Nogaro if anyones interested)

All opinions are welcome







Cheers

Any sign of a crack and I would not risk it. Sure if it was some uber rare classic wheel you might be able to get it correctly repaired but its a regular car then just get it replaced not worth messing about.

Take it to a specialist wheel refurber who will be able to help better than people looking at a photo. A new Nogaro will be a lot of money I'm afraid.

Someone should be able to repair it *fingers crossed.

All you can do is get it to someone who repairs them & ask them, luckily it is the inner rim, so that helps, whether it is the alloy or just the coating/paint that is cracked, I can't tell from the pics.
