Default Reparing a Bent wheel on V

Hi,

I wacked a rock hard on my last ride and bent the front left wheel on my V. Just rolled the outside edge in pretty good. It is maintaining air pressure fine. Is this a repairable item? Is there a tool I can buy to pound the edge back out to its original shape or is this a job for the repair shop?

You'd probably be able to set your wheel face down and use autobody blocks/hammers to straighten that edge out. For a professional repair I'd straighten it as good as I could then build it up with a mig and lathe it down.
