get it balanced and go from there, one of my rims was slightly bent on the inside and my tire guy put the new tire on and balanced it and said, everything fine I don't think it's actually bent more like you slightly bent the inside lip of the rim in

just to add on. when the guy was making sure everythin was good he was just spinning the back left wheel. kept hearing what sounded like scraping of metal and thats when he and i noticed their was a bump everytime the wheel came to a certain spot. there was the lil bent in the inner part of the rim. so again to be sure, new rim or just try to repair it?
