Search YouTube for videos on fixing bent alloy rims and rims with excessive runout. They use dial indicators and heat with a jack.

I just realized I had bent one of my rims on the inside after taking it off to bleed brakes/general suspension inspection. Took it to a shop and they say they heat it before anything to prevent the aluminum from cracking. $135 + $65 if it needs to get re polished after the heat assuming it can be. Illinois blows.
