Is this rim fixable?

Like rookieIS said, I wouldn't get that fixed because now the structural integrity of the wheel has been compromised. If you get it fixed, you'll probably have issues later with balancing and stuff too.
BTW, if you hit the curb that hard, I would check your alignment and all that too. Looks like it was a pretty hard hit!

Buy another front wheel, transfer the tire and tpms over and do an alignment. Or its a great excuse to buy a new set of wheel

Agreed...!!!
The rim is NOT repairable... Buy a NEW or USED Straight Wheel....
Install the spare while you are waiting for it.... Do not wait for that tire to pop off..
I'm shocked it didn't pop on impact...
