doesn't look so bad. i had a similar thing happen on my BMW. i hit a pot hole on the highway one night. since it was on the inside, it took a 2lb sledge hammer to it and pounded it back closer to its original shape and had the whole wheel re-balanced. drove the car another couple of years beating the **** out of it.

You most likely hit a bad pot hole. Low profile tires act as less of a bumper and make it easier to damage wheels.

It won't get worse but I suspect that wheel will vibrate from being slightly out of round now. Talk to the guys at www.fixrim.com to get it repaired.
