It should be able to be repaired but until then, it's not likely to get any worse without an additional impact with something else...

In the United States there are specialists who 'straighten' bent wheels and restore to ensure they are true, and refinish them as well.
If it's any consolation, the wheel probably doesn't need to be refinished since the damage is on the inside.
