I had 2 of my BBS alloy wheels repaired on my VW.  I hit a u-joint or
some large piece of metal on I-35 and bent both wheels on the right
side.  The shop that did it specialized in wheel repair and did a great
job.  I couldn't tell by looking they had been bent (they painted
to match the metalic blue paint) and have experienced no vibration
problems.  Cost was high (US$125 each), but I'm not sure I could even
have found replacement wheels if I'd wanted to.

If it was me, I'd have it repaired, but make sure to find a good shop
that has plenty of experience.  

Laters,
Brian
