Buckled wheel advice

Evening chaps I would appreciate some opinions on if my other halfs scooter requires a new front wheel. I've tried to take a pic but it's not to clear. Basically the rim edge has a slight dent in it but the main wheel itself has no damage. There is no problem with the tyre I.e no bulges and I've taken it out on a ride to 60mph and other speeds and not found any vibration or steering problems.

Last thing I want to do is take it to honda then have to pay stupid rates for a wheel. Advice and opinions appreciated thank you

Take it to the workshop, they will put it on spindle, fix it, center and balance it. Mind that it won't be same rim, it will be weakened and probably you will pay same for used one.
 
For peace of mind, take it to a specialist motorcycle cast wheel repair service - must be cheaper than a new wheel :)
