Advice please – do I need a new rim?

[Glenboy]

Well, what happened here was I had my Kawasaki KMX on the trailer - it wasn’t properly tied down and it leaned over a little as I was driving along with the result that an upright pressed against a spoke and pulled it out of the rim leaving a nasty hole.

So, is it fixable or do I need to get a new rim. I know I could just fill the hole and try to forget about it but I’d really like to fix it if this wouldn’t cost a fortune.

Does anyone know someone who does this kind of work – any advice much appreciated.

Replace the rim, there are bound to be plenty of other spots on the rim in similar condition.
