3 options.
a: take the tire off and try hitting it with a hammer to get it back into shape
b: take it to a shop that repairs rims (probably $100 fix)
c: drive like that till it destroys your tires

Re: bent the lip of my Volk rim.... anyway to fix this?
well option A & C are outa the question so how would i find a place that fixes rims.
these rims are the real deal so theres no way i'm gunna beat the hell out of them with a hammer NO WAY. and i dont intend on driving it much untill the weather starts getting better in the spring. so i have the time to wait and save up to get it fixed.
would i have to go to an aluminum specialist or sumthin?

hitting an aluminum rim with a hammer just cracks them. spend the money like listed above and do it right

Deffinitely take it to a shop, dont let on that it is a expensive rim or they will over charge you.

I agree though, I wouldn't do this with a nice rim such as the OP's.

put a sludge hammer to it with the tire on with no air in the tire, get 2 sludg hammers , one resting on the rim and the other to strike the other one resting on the rim
