Small dent or big issue ???

[RavenriderFZ6R]

So about a month ago I went and hit some gravel on a turn and laid down my bike, this little stunt got me some bruises and road rash but overall I'm okay ... My bike on the other hand is not that well, but decent I got parts and I'm working on getting her on top shape but , my tire went flat when I laid it down because it hit a pole in the rail on the side of the road .... so I ordered a new tire but when I got around to changing it I notice a small dent on the rim and I don't know If I should sent it somewhere to be fixed(the rim) or ignore it and just change the tire... Im going to add a picture today and take some more detailed ones tomorrow .... in need of opinion and experience .. thank you

Fix it, may just be a reshape job or little more costly new rim

worse case scenario, your tire unseats itself whilst riding one day and down you go

Definitely fix or replace.

thanks for the direction, does anyone know of a place near the lehigh valley/ berks county in pennsylvania ?

Here are some of the pictures I took today just for the hell of it a place near here that claims to do alloy rims says they only fix aesthetics repair not actuall bent rims

There are quite a few of them on ebay for sub $150.

id be worried about the rim not being true anymore and bent. id for sure have it looked at if nothing else.
