bent kosei K1 wheel can it be bent back by a shop ?

as the title says I found out one of my wheels is just barely bent but noticible enough to feel, I need to know if I can have a shop bend it back to factory ?

iirc the wheels are alum. if that matters

thanks all

cool thats what I was hoping

does it matter if the wheel is aluminum ?
My friend that was useing the balancing machine said that they can heat steel wheels up and form them like new but didn't know about alum.

I work at a tire/wheel shop and it costs us $80-$150 to have aluminum wheels fixed (depending on damage).honestly its probably gonna be cheaper to buy a new wheel . my kosei's were bout $100/ea, new, after shipping
p.s. tirerack.com doesnt list our vehicles/bolt pattern anymore, although they may be able to find it if you call
