Default Bent rim

When getting some new tires mounted I found out that one of my front (stock AP1) wheels has been bent and has a flat spot . Does anyone know if our wheels can be safely straingtened? If so, any guess how much does it generally cost? Obviously if its too much I will be better off just buying used off the swap meet. Final question, if our wheels can be straightened and if its not too costly, does anyone know of a good wheel man in the SoCal area? I am in the east part of Ventura county. Thanks in advance for the input.

The answer is yes they can be fixed if it is not cracked. I do not have a name of a shop though.

Wrong coast but these guys are great. Been around since 1991 and I've used them to fix some wheels on my Conquest TSi....

Back in 1995 Car and Driver used them to fix 6 bent whels on their long term M3 with great results.
