The dent is about a quarter inch long on the lip of the rim and psi hasn't changed since then, I checked because I was worried about what you're talkin about, but it's just cosmetic. I would go shell out another 250 for a new rim, but I know it'll just happen again somewhere down the line.

I have some advice on the matter...my dad hit a curb at a decent rate because he was coming around a corner that a dumb truck had accidentally dropped a bunch of pea gravel...he hit the rim..it did look too bad...but it was bent, scratched, the control arm was bent which through the suspension and camber out of geometry......might want to do some tests to see if the car is pulling to either side at all. etc etc....

It's not, checked everything, still performs the same way it did before the dent.
