Had small air leak, upon taking off the tire saw this bend:

Any ideas if this can be fixed? (BBS RX)

+1 but that was suggested in the previous thread he posted on rim repair.  
To answer op question, yes that is very fixable.

IIRC turbociv posted a diy on fixing shit just like that. It’ll be fine. It might be hard to fix with the tire still on though. But you should seriously consider a bus pass.
