if it was just the lip, trying to fix it may risk it going even worse than it is. My suggestion, unfortunately, is to get a new rim, sorry

What you could do is take that bent rim to the head county office, with a bill for a new rim, and demand it be replaced. That's what i did:D

I'm afraid you now have an ultra expensive, full sized spare wheel/tire for your trunk. That's a shame too.

Is it leaking air? I had a ding bigger than that but managed to bang it out with a hammer. Granted they were my cheesy stock rims and easily replaced if it didn't work.
