You Can Take A Lead Hammer And Lightly Bang The Dent Out. Don't Use Heat Cause It Breaks Down The Strengh Of The Metal.
Start Slow Not To Crack It, I Do It To Mine All The Time When I Bend'em.
The Lead Hammer Takes The Beating, Without Leaving Ant Damage To The Wheel...

no wobble at any higher speeds jsut on low speed braking.
I plan on jsut swapin them out for a set of chrome wheels soon anyways.

My front rim was bent like that two seperate times like that (from crashing), so bad that it broke the bead. Like some one else said, don't use heat. Just take the wheel off, throw it in a press on its side, and push the lip back into the tire. It's not a good idea to beat on it with a hammer (much more likely to crack). With my fixed rim, I ocassionaly go 150+, and do endos. It just has a slight bounce between 30 and 50.
