Help with rim decision

Long story short....Girlfriend drove car = bent rim

Is it a good idea to get it fixed or just buy a new one?
Anyone ever had a bent rim and got it straightened and if so
does it feel like new?Any place that anyone can recommend?
I have 18" Evo.

Visually it doesn't look bad at all but my GF said it was shaking really bad,so it
wasn't drivable. I thought it would have been worse looking the way she described it. But anyway it can't be driven on right now.

I would just take it to a wheel repair shop and see what they say. They'll be able to tell you what's been damaged and how much it would be to fix it.

I found out that a place here in town did rim repair.They charged me
$50 to do it. I say it is 95% better. I feel a slight shimmy at low speeds
but maybe it is just me.
