Is this rim repairable?

Hey everyone, so awhile back I jump a curb, to make a long story short I bent/cracked the edge of my rim pretty bad. There arnt really any local repair shops near me so I don't know where to turn for advice. My friend said the rim is done so I should pretty much scrap the whole set. They are rays gram lights and these are discontinued so finding just one for sale is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The wheel doesn't deflate and it is still drivable but looks terrible. I really like these rims and don't want to lose them. I'm hoping somebody here has experience or has been through a similar situation and maybe could point me I the right direction.

Here are a few pics, not very clear but still visible. There is no crack really it's a huge bend:

Agreed. Make sure they do a dye test to make damn sure there isnt a start of a microfracture.
