Bent Rim! :(
I was working on my car this morning, and noticed that my driver's side front rim is bent. 
Can this be repaired, or am I fucked?

I broke a rim and had the insurance co pay for it minus deductable.
I think the wheel, tire, mount, balance, alignment, rental car came to $550 or so and the deductable was $250.

There should be a place in town that can repair it for like 50 bucks. My rim is bent too and I just rotated it to the back and all I get now is some road noise, I am getting rims soon so that is why I just didn't replace it.

Dust, you can take it to a rim shop and have someone look at it. I have heard of little bends being able to be straightend out, but you'll have to get a professionals opinion

Thanks for the feedback! 
I'm just going to buy a new rim.
I'll probably see about getting this one straightened, but I'll only use it as a spare.
The wheel is a one piece, and it's not bent too bad. Just the lip is bent slightly. I've lost no air pressure, and there's no road noise or shaking.
I posted this same thread in "CAR TALK", and was given the number to a place to call.

Hell,
It looks like it's cheaper (or close to the same price) to just buy a new rim.
So . . . . . .
I spent the $175 for a new one.
It should be here a week from Monday.
For now, I put the bent one on the rear. It's holding air pressure just fine, but I'll feel safer with it on the rear!
