Default Fixable?
I just got my rim bent from a pothole, do you think this is fixable?

Don't see why not, there are a ton of rim repair shops everywhere. It may cost you $100-$200 to fix but it is definatley fixable.

From the picture it looks fixable. However the sidewall of your tire looks damaged which can be very dangerous - definitely replace that and don't drive on it if it still holds air.
