Default heating up bent rim?

I bought some 5 Zigen Division 3's, and 1 has a bend in it. Its on the inside of the rim. Is it possible for me to heat up the area where the bend is and use a rubber mallet or something else to carefully knock it back into place? ANyone ever try this before?

bring it to a wheel place and the might be able to fix it, It is better to have it perfectly round. It should cost about 75 dollar to fix.

take it to a wheel shop... but if it is a forged wheel, it cannot be repaired.
