I only glanced at your thread.
Almost any wheel can be fixed. At least that is my experience. Depends on how much time someone is willing to spend. Shops tend to replace stuff for 2 reasons.
1. They want to sell something.
2. They don't want to spend the time to really work on it.
3. They can't fix it because they are not good.
Ok, that's 3 reasons.
I have trued wheels which were "beyond repair". I have bent rims back and then trued them.
Others won't do it. Depends too on whether or not the spoke/rim contact area has been compromised. If so then it really is over.
It probably isn't worth fixing. Most of the "beyond repair" wheels I fixed were my own and that was when I was racing and had no money, so fixing it was the only way to keep riding.
That's all I can tell you without seeing it.
