I've used a place that was highly recommended in Atlanta once called
Wheel Wizard to straighten an older alloy wheel I knew I could never
match that sounds like it was damaged worse than yours. Worked out fine
but it wasn't cheap; as I recall it was over $100 and I then had to
refinish the wheel as the finish was burned off where they straightened it.
I just did a quick search and saw they had a web site with a price list;
www.wheelwizard.com. Unfortunately, it may be more economical to just
buy another wheel, assuming they are readily available.
