Default bent wheels

wiped out and ran over a curb. got two wheels that are bent (wheels are not round any more they are kind of oval, you can feel the dent when you drive).
what is the best way to fix them?
I'm in the columbus, ohio area.
does anyone know of a place in the central ohio area to take the wheels to be fixed?
also do you know how much it would cost to fix them?

hard to say, especially without pictures.

I would take it to a wheel shop and see if it's even fixable, and price quotes, etc. on that.

they aren't bent super bad or anything. the tires still are on them, but you can feel the dent when you drive. almost feels like you're driving on a bumpy road.

damn.

if the tire is still able to hold air in there, then the wheel should be fine. I would take it to a wheel machinery shop.

Usually shops that do powder coating can do this as well and re-machine the wheel.

is the lip off the rim all bent out of shape or ripped up or something?
