If it's a factory rim it's not worth the cost, for a few dollars more or sometimes the same amount you can get a new, re-finished OEM rim that will likely outlast the factory rims (in regards to the paint)

I know Ron (rdm85mcss is his handle) just had a wheel straightened and it came out good.

I had a rim fixed there when I tweaked the bead just a little many years ago. Cost about $100.
