Default Work Wheel owners PLEASE help!!!!

So I was driving today and ran up and down this tiny curb, on my back right rim where the lip meets the tire it's almost like something pushed in and there's a "crater" the size of a dime almost. In the lip it's kinda pushed up and by the tire it's pushed down like some just dug a chunk out with a spoon. I have Varianza T1S and I know they are a 2 piece rim so I was wondering, can I just buy a new lip/brim to put around it or can I send it into Work and they fix it. Please help!

yes you can do that, any rim repair shop can fix that easy so you don't have to send it back to work if you don't want to wait.

go to a shop first, see if they can fix it before you buy the lip.
