I work for a wheel company, the wheel is probably out of round, it will throw off your steering and maybe create some vibration, the wheel is garbage now.

Whatever, obiously you work for a sh*tbox of a company, if you diagnose a typical curb as being out of round without even SEEING THE WHEEL. Don't listen to this guy, take your wheel to a PROFESSIONAL, I worked at Discount for years and I would say safely that most ANY light to moderate damage can be fixed. In fact my old fitti poliars's were bent like taco's. I had them cut in half bent back with heat and rewelded SAVES ME HUNDREDS and they rolled like champs.....They were so nice, I could zero out the balance just by the tire position on the wheel, in other words they were WELL DONE.....

how deep is it?? you may be able to get away with sanding it down and repainting it. May not look perfect, but better than curbed to hell

http://www.wheelcollision.com, they're in Bath, PA, and come highly recommended by several 'texers as well as having a good writeup on here some time ago. Also, call Eric at the Tirerack and ask him for suggestions, he may be able to help you.
