Just can't win

Bought some jeep wheels with 215/65's. Test fitted them fine. But they rub at higher speeds so I cant use them. Stock wheels have some dents so I needed new wheels.

finally got new tires due to the rain and installed them all.

Hasn't even been a week and I hit some huge rock in the middle of the street yesterday....i haven't looked at it yet. But I hope it didn't dent the rim of the wheel :/

If it's damaged & is a steel rim, just pound out any damage. BFH works best.

I don't know if this can just be hammered back in?
My buddy said it will start to budge out but I hope it doesn't. Should I have it re-balanced?

once I straightened a similar deformation using only a hammer and swearings, it was on an intercity highway and I had no other choice
I assumed that when I returned home I would turn to the repairmen who would roll my wheel. But after being hit with a hammer, the wheel behaved as if nothing had happened, although it did not look perfect. Thus, I postponed the repair for a while, and then safely forgot about the incident.
After 1 year I sold the car, the new owner does not complain about the wheel
