Bent Rims.......Fixable?

I ride on a pair of 225/40/18 TSW Revo R's. I recently had the luck of introducing my rims to a nice HUGE pothole. I was in a left turn and hit both left side rims. I seem to have put a slight dent on the inside of each rim. The outter looks ok, but you can see a small "bump" when rotating the wheel and looking at the inside.
My question: Is it possible to have this fixed or am I SOL? I am going in to have my alignment and everything checked out this next weekend. I am going to have them check to make sure it is safe to ride with my rims like that also. I just don't know if the damage can be undone or not. If so, where might I be able to take it and what would an estimated cost be?
Thanks for all the info.

Also, I wouldn't normally care about this since you can't see the dent unless you get under my car. But I can kinda feel the flat spot while driving and it really bugs me. It's like a constant reminder of my stupidity.

Bring your car in to a local wheel restoration shop .. they'll have it fixed for you ...

Unless the wheel is forged it is best to buy a new rim unless you can't afford it.

Some places are ggod at restorimg, but most rims unless they are forged have some wheel hop when balenced, that bothers me.

If it is only a slight dent, it shouldn't be too much trouble in fixing it. My sister did the same to one of her ROH rims here and it cost her $90 AU to fix. If its a one piece wheel it will probably cost less to fix then a 3 piece wheel. The wheel still drove fine afterwards, just you have to check the tyre pressure more often, incase air seeps out, if its still not 100% round.

Ditto. But if it can't be fixed dont' be cheap because its your life that is riding on those rims.

I thought 3-piecers were easier to fix in most cases because you could just fix or replace the damaged part rather than buying a new wheel? I guess it depends on the damage, eh?

Yep, it does depend on the damage. 3 piece wheels are usually worth more, and I've had a friend who buckled a couple of rims, and they were very pricey to fix!
