Bent steel rim -- safe to drive? S70

Hi all.

I was on my way home tonight and I hit a pothole at about 40 mph. When I got home I noticed that the lip of the rim was bent.

I went back out on the road for a test drive and didn't notice any vibration or air lose. Is it safe to drive? These are Michelin winter tires on steel rims.

Anything else I should check? Thanks in advance!
