Somehow F'd up my rim ...

I don't know if it was me or someone who had driven my car but my front left tire has a small cut on it and the rim is F'd up in that area too. I quickly went to Tire Shop to measure pressure and guy said that the tear at the tire is not serious at all and that air pressure in all 4 tires was good. The rim though is dented but it looks as if a peice has been chipped off. Not noticeable I guess but will they care when the lease expires? Am I responsible for that?

If you notice it they will too.

When your lease expires, just return the car, and make sure the wheels are extremly dirty. Maybe they might not nottice

I hammered my front left rim so hard it sounded like a huge japanese gong, I swear.... the dent in the rim was the size of half a lemon and there were 2 cuts in the tire.
When I had the tire pried off I could nearly stick my finger through the crack, and the inside of the rim showed a long crack.
Despite the extensive damage, I hadn't lost any tire pressure and, best of all, didn't have a friggin' blowout right there on Route 78. The roads in Hudson county are worse than they used to be in Communist East Germany, and I'm not exaggerating. I was appalled at the poor infrastructure in and around New York City when I first came to the country...
