Default Good place to get a bent rim fixed?

It's a slight bend, and the tires can still be mounted over the bend. I'm going to take a rubber mallet to it and try and smooth it out myself, but in case I mess up I was wondering if there are any shops in the area that can fix this sort of thing. I bought the rims used from a friend for cheap, so there's no warranty or anything on them.

No need to be an asshole, man. The only thread in that "search" of yours (which was the same search I did by the way) dealing with the 757 area is from over a YEAR ago, and it's talking about some machine shop in aberdeen. I was hoping there'd be more current info, and somewhere closer to the southside 757 area. If you have info, please share, if not, then why waste your time trying to make me look like an ass?

wheel dr. couldnt do anything for my girlfriends rim she bent, they did refund the cash. I swear they just bang it back or something. I dont like the place, they dont even have a balancer to check if its truly fixed or not

Craft Machine Shop in hampton
OR
Keystone in williamsburg (my fave)
keystone if they cant fix your rim they will get you a new (or reconditioned) one of the same kind to match (and paint to match)

I appreciate the suggestions. I'm going to check a few of those places out. Hopefully they do good work for a good price.
