That said, I’m am thinking about fixing, but also getting a whole new set anyway. I’ve had a few recommendations from people and I’ve seen a few wheels that are really nice. Sadly, they are also extremely expensive. But I suppose that’s to me expected.

Even as I write this though, I’m thinking the best solution might simply be to have Ferrari swap out the damaged wheel during the scheduled service which just happens to be this week.
Imo there is no way around getting a new wheel.
Rashid said it right, the structure has been compromised ( and these rims are optimized for weight, so they don‘t have enough „meat“ to just take these hits and get straightened out then).

Even at 75 mph, it won‘t be fun having a compromised rim failing, but here, we go top speed with our cars and there is certainly no room for failure.
