Bent my rim. Repairable?

I got into huge pothole and my one rim bent, I think. The tire became totally flat and left my car there. I tried to put air at gas station, but it doesn't work. You think it's repairable or should I just get new tire or new rim? I don't want to send my rim to get it repaired. Does Midas do that?

a local rim shop will fix it for you.

http://www.wheelsamerica.com is the only national place I can think of off the top of my head.

discount will also send to a rim fixit shop for you.

I just put stock rims back on for now. The rim doesn't look bent when I closely look at it. How can you tell when it is bent? It seems like the tire has a hole inside or something. Should I take it to local shop and ask them if it is bent or not?

i have 2 bent rims :[ not sure if anyone locally can do it for me and if im going to pay to have it shipped somewhere and back on top of the fee to fix the bend then i might as well buy anew rim, local is the onyl practical way.
