Chipped Rim Help

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I chipped the lip of my rim. The tire still holds air pressure fine and seems ok, but could this turn out deadly or just a little ugly to look at. The chip is very small and doesnt go all the way to the bead. If anyone has had this happen I would like to know thanks. I run a 17 inch rim with 215/45 17 falken ziex 512 tires. Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't matter how big it is. Its cracked and the wheel's integrity is compromised. Every time it rolls over its going to stretch more, the wheel will eventually break.
