front wheel bent. tips?

My 954 front wheel is bent just a bit. It won't hold air.

Any tips on what to do, or where to send it to?

I flipped it today. Go figure.. I grabbed the throttle and pushed my *** of the tank from a crossover. Slipped and pinned it. It's all good though.

I just pounded mine out with a hammer. holds air now... just watch out for the rotors if your pounding it while its still on the bike.
