Default bent rim, is this repairable?

Ran over a pothole on the fwy going about 75mph. Didn't sound bad at the time until I got an air pressure warning light. Pulled over and checked my wheels and almost passed out...

Do you guys think this is repairable?

I checked online and it would cost around $500 for 1 new wheel.

Repairable, sure... will it look the same as new, probably not... the sticker will have to come off and there is no telling if you will get an identical color when its refinished... should be close, obviously, but those are a very tough color to match perfectly...
