Damn, that's on the inside too. Take it to a good wheel repair shop and see if they can fix it. Might be cheaper then a new wheel. Hopefully it's not cracked.

That sucks. Check with a local tire shop on who they may use to repair bent/cracked wheels or check with one of the national vendors that deal with this.
