    That'll hammer straight easily enough.

    Keep an eye on the tyre - if it develops a bulge, bin it, but otherwise should be OK.

    I reckon the opposite, get the wheel hammered back into shape and bin the tyre.

    The tyre is more likely to blow at speed rather than a steel wheel fail.

    That doesn't look like water. It looks like it is an oily substance.
