don't really think this belongs in the detailing forum.... but I would consult a paintless dent repair professional about removing the dent.

Step 1 is to get rid of that Chinese tire. Chinese tire+ herrafrush=recipe for disaster.

I have heard they use small piece of dry ice. They let it sit on center part of dent and the dent would pop back out because of shrinkage.

Paintless dent removal should be able to take that out for pretty cheap.

On a side note, those wheels need some love!

You can call some paint less dent removal companies. But with it being so close to the edge I don't think they will be able to get it out? Worst case scenario is body shop and respray.
