try a wielding shop see if they can repair it?
I had a crack in a rim they repaired and it never leaked again they did a good job there was no imbalance on the rim after either. I was happy cost was maybe $50 but that will depend on where you go.

thanks for that idea i didn't even know you could repair rims like that... how would i go about finding a welding shop that would do it? can bent rims be fixed?

It depends on the shop. Most wheel repair shops will be able to fix a bent rim. Cracked, not always.

How to find one: google "wheel repair shop" and your city. Local = win, because shipping wheels is expensive.
