Can my wheel be repaired?

The end of October,I hit a pothole traveling the tollway.upon closer examination,I see that the back wheel has a small bend around the lip of the bottom.It is approx..2 inches and there are no air leaks,it just is noticeable,and it does not appear to throw anything out of balance.Can this be repaired,and who does this kind of repair if so?thanks...I went to check on my car in storage..and it reminded me.....the wheel is an aftermarket Y2K wheel(corvette)chrome..

There are shops that repair wheels. Being it is a chrome wheel I don't know how extensive of a repair you will be able to perform without having to re-chrome it. I would suggest looking for a replacement. Will probably be the cheapest route.
