Take it to a wheel shop and have it fixed, if possible. Good Luck!

If you don't have the funds to fix it now no big deal. If it still holds air it will be ok. I curb
mine alot worse yet to fix it.

if thats all the damage you did you're looking at about 130-150 easily. Thats how much wheel medic charged me for a gash I had about that size, just a little bit smaller in width but longer in length
