Ok I was rock crawling and I didn’t notice until I got out and my rim was chipped:headbang: I used a dremmel to get some of the sharp edges off and some paint to clean it up but there is some metal pushed in close to the tire I was wondering is it still safe?

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Should be ok as long as it's holding air and no high speed vibration, if you do have high speed vibration but it's still holding air ok you might have to get it balanced again. And if it is holding air but you're not feeling great about it you could always put it on the back for spare duty :)

The only wheel I have without any trail rash is my spare. Just touched up the black paint and kept on going.
