Anything can be fixed if you are willing to pay for it.

I don't see any cracks so it looks like they can be fixed pretty easily. I've take out similiar, maybe a bit smaller, dents from aluminum wheels with a block of wood and a hammer.

I did something similar but didn't try to fix it. Didnt know how well the bead would seal if it wasnt perfect.

Let a professional determine if it can be fixed:
