Yep there are many places that can do it.I dont know about Orlando but weve gotta guy up here called the wheel wizard.I dont think it is too expensive to have the dent fixed but it is expensive to have curb scrapes fixed. :seeya

Re: ding/bend in rim (paintdaddy)
if it's cosmetic and on the outside and the wheel isn't bent you probably could, if it's on the inside lip & minor you probably don't even have to mess with it as you can balance it out with a tire. give it some thought though, 89-90 c4 9.5" wheels are only $200 for fair condition & mint 97-99 wheels are only $300-400

There is a place in Orlando that I am told does a good job of repairing the rims for $130 - $150. Their number is 1 (888) 434-9746. If you use this service please let us all know what the outcome is.
