Is there any way to get a rim fixed?

Well, you could say I'm just a little pissed... ok, alot pissed. I dented one of my rims... I'm assuming on the manhole cover sticking out of the road that I hit last week. Anyways, From the way it looks, it looks like just the outer lip is bent, the tire still seems to be seated and holds pressure, are there places that can roll it back out?
I really don't want to buy another Superleggera... they're $300 a piece.

Ouch man, that sucks...

Aluminum wheels tend to crack if you try to bend them back, you're better off just getting a new wheel. You could try calling some wheel repair places, but it will never be as strong as it was. If it was a steel wheel it would be no problem.

Sorry man!

i heard there are places that reshape em, but only if its a small dent or scratch cuase they scrape off a few layers of your rim to even stuff out. Costs like $100...i'd say get a new rim.
