Sorry to see this.
With that scuff on your tire you definitely ran into something. Really don't know what happened to cause this? Run up on a curb?
Definitely repairable based on similar bends in older wheels of mine but would start out checking with Vossen.

its pretty neat how they fix wheels. That price sounds about right to fix it. I had a crack and slight bend in a wheel once and they fixed it for $150 at a local place. Looked pretty damn good afterwards took me a while to find the repair spot

heres a much better suggestion for the OP contact the city. its their responsibility to maintain the roads and potholes. in my state we have a pot hole hotline, I've had a couple wheels and tires replaced at the city's expense from pothole damage.

I mean,as much as I love Vossens they're just expensive cast wheels. Maybe just call it a loss and have the 2 fixed and then sell the set and buy high quality wheels like HREs, iSS forged, CCW, etc.
It happened once so it can happen again unfortunately :/

the right way to do this , replace the bent wheels with new wheels , and replace the tire. It might be a little bit more money but its better to know there new and not have to worry about if the shop fixes them right or if you have to repaint the whole set because the repair shop didn't fix them right.

being an insurance agent, DO NOT DO THIS! this will go under your collision deductible and will cause a rate increase.
