If the lip is just slightly bent, no biggie, as long as it isn't leaking air.

All 4 of my wheels have dents and dings on the lip as long as it hold air ride on...and if it is bent real bad u can bang it out to where it will hold a bead again..

i once folded about 1/4 of my front rim in, it tore and everything, hammered it back and it held air fine lol i dont worry about dents too much anymore, just the wobble in all my rims. baja rims help a ton with dents and wobble
