I had a dent in the inside lip of my alloy rim(~1/3" inwards), I fixed it by myself with a sledge (a piece of wood between sledge and rim of course). I heated the dent before hitting it, no discoloration in my case. Whole process took around 10 minutes.
I can't say that it's like a new one but it's "straight enough", minor swing was noticed in balancing machine.
But extreme careful is required as it's fairly easy to crack the rim if you hit it too hard, on the other hand overheating could be fatal as well.
