try a wielding shop see if they can repair it?
I had a crack in a rim they repaired and it never leaked again they did a good job there was no imbalance on the rim after either. I was happy cost was maybe $50 but that will depend on where you go.

Re: rims

It depends on the shop. Most wheel repair shops will be able to fix a bent rim. Cracked, not always.

Re: rims

How to find one: "wheel repair shop" and your city. Local = win, because shipping wheels is expensive.
