For those who think I'm being silly when I say that huge rims and ultra low profile tyres are a bad idea and unsafe, I rest my case...

17" isnt huge, to bad bout the damage though.

> I need to find 1 or a a way to fix this 1 if i can..

There are people who do this work, professionally.

I had similar damage on one of my wheels and the insurance company refused to replace all the wheels, cause they are no longer made.

The damaged wheel was sent away welded and resprayed at considerable cost.

I now have a very attactive spare tyre, cause I don't have any faith in it's strength.

> huge rims and ultra low profile tyres are a bad idea

Chances are that hitting the kerb at anything other than straight-on will not have made a difference, regardless of size

Sure stamped steel wheels bend, but alloys break.

No need to put the boot in, when people are down.
