Default Rim integrity

hey guys, i was in a hit and run accident last week and my EK was totalled...luckily the stupid-*** driver's licence plate got left behind at the scene. anyways, i was hit on the rear pass. side. the rim took the and bumper took the brunt of the impact-i basically got hit with a pit maneuver which is actually good for me since i got pushed out of the way. the result is the rear rim is visibly pushed in a bit. My question is if i can still use the rim on my next car, which will be another EK. thanks.

the pics didnt come out, but id say either have them refurbished or get new ones(or possibly just one new or used one). the damage could affect the bead seal so you might have trouble getting it to hold air. on top of that, it might have done some damage you cant see which could make it hard to balance.
