Q. Are these rims safe to use if i dress up and smooth out the damage? Dont care about looks too much - just safety.

followup:

After discussing with engineer friends, gear heads and car nuts, I determined these are salvageable. A determined #diy hour later with 6" grinder and a heavy duty scotch brite wheel removed all stress risers. Now on to iso, alodyne, distilled water, wipe and paint.
