picuteres of the damage might help determing if it's repairable or not. Is it a 1, 2, or 3 piece wheel? Is just the barrel bent? Again, pics or a description of damage might help. Also, perhaps a shop local to you can reccommend a wheel repair shop. There are a few good aftermarket shops up in nor cal..

I don't have pictures since I mounted a new tire on the bent rim. I wanted to see if air would leak and it is leaking 15 psi / day. 
The shop where I bought the wheels from says it is bent on the inside and it is repairable. They referred me to a local rim repair shop in Santa Clara, but they have horrible Yelp reviews. They told me that they don't want to deal with this repair shop due to negative experiences in the past, and that I should deal with them directly. Unfortunately this is the only shop in the Bay area that they and I know that fixes bent rims. I also checked Craigslist and there's no one that does this either.
Does anyone in my area know of other rim repair shops that fixes bent rims?
I am in Sunnyvale, CA.

Have you tried talking to SonicMS? They are a mod shop, but they might be able to refer you to a shop they use. Good luck
