Nope, wouldn't have said so. We repair buckled wheels where I work on Saturday. You hit a curb or something? Must be seriously weak wheels to be damaged that bad assuming that's what you did
 
That doesn't actually look too far off my mates wheel - It was even cracked/split. Pretty sure it was alloy welded. It was powder-coated before he picked it up so not sure about scars/cracks, but it balanced up fine and ran for another 4-5months until my mate sold the car.

Suppose it depends on what people are willing to sign off on.

Lovely mk4, not usually a fan of the shape but I like the way it's goin! Just a quick question, how are you sealing the edges of the carbon vinyl? Ive wrapped alot of parts and I have only the one that keeps peeling away! So to know how to stop this would be great!

Thanks mate , big parts that I wrap and the backs are out of sight I seal with a spray glue and then gloss over the top, this keeps from peeling

Thanks for the pm about carbon / vinyl work keep them coming people wanting some bits and bobs done :)
