Nicked Rim - Discard or Salvage?

[AllenC]

Hi all,

I've only recently begun performing my own maintenance. Today I had a rear tire blowout with the additional result of a badly nicked rim that's going to require some retruing as well. I've tried to remove the sharper protusions with steel wool and am wondering if I should just scrap this rim and get a new one. What's the likelihood that this rim is going to be usable?

TIA,

AC
