Runflat blow up, is my rim permanently damaged or just scratched?

It seems scratched on the picture and the strange is when I first looked the tire was in one piece and when I came back an hour later to take the picture there was this huge hole

looks like you had some serious toe wear. you should watch your inner tire more cafefully. i bet the other side is showing wires as well

Most likely just scratched, but once the tire gets dismounted the tech will be able to see a bit more.

That is normal wear on the rear tires from the negative camber. The tires should have been replaced way before this.

Looks like owner mis-use here. You must have been driving on a deflated tyre for a while and looks like your way past the wear indicator on the tyre. Should of been replaced ages ago. This is not a "runflat" blow up as any tyre would have done that.

On another note, the rim only looks scratched so I doubt you will have any issues there.
