Default Bent wheel repair...

I was heading home from work a few nights ago and ran over something that wind up bending my front driver's side wheel. I couldn't swerve in time to avoid running over whatever the hell that was due to traffic around me. I can feel the vibration when I'm driving at speed. I confirmed today with discount tire that the wheel is bent. For c7 Z06 wheels, can they be repaired? If so, do any of you local Alamo City (San Antonio) guys know of a reputable shop that does quality work? Or should I just replace the wheel? Thanks in advance.

Aluminum wheels should not be repaired...at least not on a vehicle that goes over 10-mph. Can they be repaired? Sure, but they will never be as strong as new.

Thanks for the reply FRISKY! I've got a new wheel on the way via House of Wheels.
