Depending on what kind of wheel it is it might be cheaper (and faster) to just buy a new wheel.
Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA (near Allentown) does good work.

They fixed a wheel for me before and did a good job at a good price.

I'd actually recommend Alloy Wheel Repair. Give the guy a call and he'll drive to your house, asses the damage, and either fix it on the spot or bring it back to you the next day.

When they bend a wheel back they need to refinish, and thus, it's more expensive. Don't try to cheap out on wheel repair, as it's one of the most important parts on your car, and if bent, could put you and others in danger.

Wheel Works in Burlington, NJ. That will probably be your cheapest source. Those places that come to you charge out the ass.

I used a mobile wheel repair company and the results were complete crap. There were runs in the paint, hairs stuck in clear coat, visible spray nozzle marks, and globs of clear coat all over.
Make sure you do your research.

Have you checked your tire to see if it's leaking from the tire or of its leaking from the bead? Have a shop with a road force balancer Check it and run and read the run out on the wheel. The machine will find the high and low spots on the wheel and advise you if replacing is recommended or if it's okay. From their I'd mount a new tire and hope the road force level is within spec. Usually for a passenger car tire 26 lbs.

Take a picture of the damage. If it isn't too bad we have a guy that comes to my work and fixes bent wheels. He fixed mine (wasn't too severe) and it looks as good as new.

used to work down the street, and our dealer used to send some things there to get repaired on trades or whatnot.
