Heat it up and it will help to keep it from cracking. Even if it does, it can still be fixed. I had a similar bend to that in a more expensive rim along with a crack. I bent the lip back, brought it over to MAP and little Brown welded it up nice and neat for me. I had a friend come and match the paint and now you can barely tell. A replacement rim for mine was $550. Total to fix this with mount/dismount tire, welding and paint was $120, and about three hours of my hammer time.
