My wife did the same thing to my 90kt with a Chicago pothole, except it was so bad the rim wouldn't hold air at all. Went to one tire shop and they wanted $150 or so to straighten and refinish the rim (and needed to send it out a take a week or so). Then went to a hole in the wall type of tire shop, and the guy said he could straighten it for $30.00 but it wouldn't look pretty. I said OK and watched as he blow torched the rim and straightened it out the best he could. He was right, he fixed it but it was blemished by the blow torch and wasn't perfectly straight, I eventually found a replacement rim at junkyard.
