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.
