I drove a car (albeit, a car that I didn't care about) that had a rim bent 3 or 4 times worse than that after I slammed it into a curb. Surprisingly it still reliably held air. Shook pretty bad on the freeway though. ;)

To be on the safe side, get rid of that, and get another one from the junkyard that's in good shape.... either that, or get a new one. Your safety and others on the road is much more important.

Seeing the look of your's compared to the ones I got from the junkyard, well, needless to say, I'm taking mine back for store credit...

I didn't think your rim was too bad, but after hearing everyone, now I know better.
