yeah it could i had somethig much worse on my smart cars 17" wheels (i'd of replaced them but as mine was the only smart with 17's in the country at the time)

I certainly wouldn't drive on it afterwards.

The only way that could be Safely repaired would be by alloy welding a new piece in and machining it. By the time you've done that it would be cheaper to buy a new rim.

The minor bits are within the scope of "cosmetic" repair but a bit pointless if the rest is cream crackered.

Yeah thats repairable. I took a similar chunk out of one of my turini's on a late night run in Wales last year and got Spit And Polish to refurb it....came back better than new.
