As said, they look fine to drive on. But that is some serious kerbage you done there.
Just get them refurbed. Should be about £50 per wheel.

bodyfiller....sod that. when pressure is put onto the filler fitting tyres, it could crack and break of and all sorts.you need to find a wheel refurber who can alloy weld them. theres a brilliant place 5 mins from me.
