Default Leaking alloy repair is it possible

I have suffered Pot Hole damage on the inside of the Alloy causing the tyre to leak air so having to pump it up all the time

If this type of damage repairable or do i have to buy a 2nd hand one for the 55 plate WRX from ebay?

If repairable any recomendations in essex?

if it weren't pot hole damage (presumably buckled) you could try re-beading

M444GY if i post a photo of the damage would you be able to guesstimate if it is repairable as you are a fair distance to drive if it isn't possible

also do you repair it whilst i wait or do you need to keep it for a a day or to?
