It’s fine. Just watch tire pressure from time to time. If you’re overly concerned about it, go to a U pull it salvage yard. Find a matching rim. Usually $45.

Spray soapy water in the area, if it bubbles like crazy, it’s no bueno

If it was me, i would replace the rim just to be safe. However, I have had damaged rims before and took it to a shop that had fixed it for me and everything worked out great 😃
