Damage to Rpf1 - Is this fixable?

Hi everyone, I just bought these Rpf1's for my Evo and i received one wheel with really minor damage. I am wondering if this can be fixed at a shop and would the wheel, in your opinion, be bent. I do not want to put this wheel on and have vibration in my steering wheel.

Here are the pictures:

u should have inspected the box and put in a claim.
contact the seller and file a claim if they are new.

thats fixable, its not considered a bend, im definite it will still hold air as the bead isnt seated on that part

I'd be pissed...

If you can, reach out to the vendor you purchased them from and go from there.

I would send it back to the vendor and demand a replacement...or file a claim with the shipping company.

This happened to me in 1997 when I ordered a new set of rims for my car and 1 came all bent up.... got a new one immediately.
