Wheel frame? Do you mean the rim? If so, it can be repaired if the damage is not to extensive.

Still totally ridable. Just that I dont run a smoothly and that it is a bit hard to start out

Most likely can be fixed then, when spinning it on the bike how much movement do you see side to side? .5 inch.. 6 inches.. :)

Take it to a shop and see if they can true and dish it.. Also, check the dropouts, you may have the wheel mounted unsquare.
