Got into an accident and my front wheel seem to be severely damaged. Is it still drivable or it needs replacement?
The tyre itself is slashed so it will need to be replaced asap, but I am wondering if that wheel is still ok or not.
These are Campagnolo Zonda C17 (rim brakes) so I cannot easily find just the rim replacement

Not at all. File off the sharp edges and then sand smooth. As long as it’s not bent/cracked no real harm in it.
If it’s true and there aren’t any cracks you’re probably fine. It’d be a good idea to sand down the scrapes so your braking surfaces are consistent.
It’s clearly a wheel, not toast
Fine sandpaper to smooth the rough spots.
Not toast. Just going to be a little annoying breaking. I would file it down a little then follow with fine grit sandpaper like 1000 grit or finer.
