That's essentially what a wheel shop does only they do it with years of experience and some specialized tools/presses and heat the wheel up.
I've had many wheels repaired over the last 20 years and none has broken catastrophically later...but it's probably just a matter of time (still have 84 wheels with prob over 240K on them, several sets of tires, no cracks yet). In your case with that bad of a bend you might want to have the wheel x-rayed, or not. About the worse that can happen is a part of the wheel cracks where you've bent it/bent it back and you get a flat...might lose the tire but probably not.
If you're going to race the car you'd probably use forged aftermarket wheels anyway.
