The wheel is OK visually from the outside, but the tire is still mounted. These are the factory Toyota 16 x 8 wheels and they are pretty tough.

My dilemma now is that I am running 315/75-16 Goodyear Duratracs and they don't make that size any longer so will need to figure out what to do. I have (had) five of them and was doing a 5-tire rotation, so even though they have 32k miles on them they have a lot of life left.

And...315/75-16s are a fortune these days.
