Check this place out. Might be cheaper to find a different wheel though.

I'd try hammering back. Cheaper to replace then repair.

There is a place in Medina call motomotion that fixes stock wheels. But honestly it would be cheaper to buy another one someplace.

I restore bicycles. Generally steel rims can be hammered back into shape but not aluminum. Not as malable. Don't be surprised if it chips.
