Repair or replace wheels?

I am debating whether to repair my Enkei wheels or replace them. Does anyone have experience with wheel repair services?

Is it feasible to repair a bent wheel, or is it a case of 'once its bent, the strength is lost' and potholes will continue to bend the repaired wheel?

Thanks in advance for all opinions!

I repaired my RPF1 with a bent lip (still holds air, just looks horrible). It's my track wheel so I always inspect them like I do with brakes and fluids.

So far so good. Wheel balances good without extra weights and the new finish made my other 3 look like trash.
