Check with your local dealership body shops. Years back I had a car damaged that included rim damage. The body shop sent the rim somewhere and it was straightened.
Just an idea.

The best in the country is Ye Old Wheel Shope in Elkridge, MD. My ZR-1 brothers from all over the country send in their very expensive wheels for repair and polish.

I believe there is a place in Danbury. I have never used them so I can't speak for their work. You can also check with the Corvette Center in Newington.

Straightening is very dependent upon the wheel fabrication. You don't/didn't mention 'specifics' and I'd think it might be to your benefit to mention type of damage and what wheel. Maybe post a snapshot of the 'damage'. Most any collision shop or dealer might have local suggestions. I've done a few @ Ye Old Wheel and some using the typical services collision shops and dealers use.

Thanks! There is no one in CT. Do they have a flat charge for straighting and clear coat repairing? What is the best way to ship with out more damage?

There ain't no fixed price for quality work.

What wheel? Post a damn snapshot of damage.
