Bent rim... :( is it ruined?

So the VERY edge of my IROC rim is bent up a little bit at a 90 degree angle. The affected area is TINY, is there any way I can bend it back in place? (imagine taking a paper disc (rim) and bending one cm in from the edge).

Need more info? ask

It will probably crack or break if its bent back. To fix it correctly will require welding and refinishing
