excess tire wear, allignment being thrown off maybe, wobbly.

A wheel allignment wont help.....

You need to just go toyour local junkyard and find a gxl rim.

ARE YOU SURE YOUR RIM IS BENT?? OR IS THE CAMBER OFF ON YOUR TIRES AND IT HAS WORN A BUBBLE INTO YOUR TIRES. Checkthe insides of your tires for excess wear.

Bent rims can be repaired. Search for wheel repair shops. My son had a couple of rims straightened and it cost around $70/wheel. Junkyard may be a cheaper option.
