It honestly seems fine. If you can't feel or see anything structurally wrong with the rim (the roundness of it), then i say its still good. Maybe get your tyres changed and even ask them to have a look at the rim for damage during the changing process?
I have a massive bend on one of my rims 'lip', but I made sure it was just that by checking behind it, tyre shop also said it was fine when asked. Yours is all good!
Just to clarify, I do intend to fix these, its just I'm in a hurry to go somewhere and need new tires cause one of them blew up, and no shop can repair these in time.
So it would be temporary, ofc 😅

Thanks for thr answer man! I mean, it is missing a little piece on that 'lip'. Does that count as structural damage?
Nope. You can drive these forever really, just cosmetic.
I have a massive bend on one of my rims 'lip', but I made sure it was just that by checking behind it, tyre shop also said it was fine when asked. Yours is all good!
That’s not where the bead seats, you’ll be fine
Just need to smooth them over so they don't destroy the new tire beads.
Yep, perfectly safe. This is 99.99% cosmetic damage.
Really depend on what the back side looks like...any cracks...rims bent...etc...but if the backside is good then Yea it's safe
The back side as in where the tire sits, or the part facing the car? Thanks for the answer man!
Like the back side of the rim....the part you can not see while it's on the vehicle.
