Default Can bent forged aluminum wheels be repaired?

When the side of a a 270 degree offramp changed from dirt to low curbing, I managed to bend a rim. The tire is holding air no problem, but I'm still worried about leaving the wheel as is. Is there anything I can do?

wheel technologies is located in dallas. you can ask them. they do houston/dallas/austin/san antone wheel repairs for all the tire & wheel stores.

cost is about 120-130 per wheel. but I'll say this, the finish process is not to be desired. excessive brake dust will not come off of their finish after the repair.

Mark, PM MilleniumRX2 about where he got his SSR GT1's repaired at. I couldn't tell which wheel was repaired after he got it back. From what i remember him telling me, it was pretty cheap. LMK what u do in the end b/c for some reason, I have a couple chips on a wheel.
