Rear wheel replace
My rear wheel was damaged ( stupid me ) , not a big thing - doesnt look bad at all, but big enough for air leak - drops about 5 points in one week. Question is : is there any way to fix the rim? Or I should replace it? Another question : can I replace it with zx 14 rim? Is it the same rim? Thank you all.

How would you do that? One's a chain drive and one's a shafty. Why would you even want to do that? The short answer is NO, unless you own a machine shop and are quite skilled at wrecking and rebuilding...LOL
PS - they're not even close to the same rim.

Because I found one for zx 14 - $250, a lot less then C 14 rim, which cost over $600.. The thought was - maybe it will fit.

Ahhhh soo I see now, but you're shit outta luck. Depending on the amount of bend, you might be able to get it back round again. A good bike shop would know of a machine shop that does that.

Rims can be straightened. Look for motorcycle frame straightening.
