i think that bump can be pounded back into shape and the tire re seated, you may want the check its balance. I've seen worse.

I'm with jeff xj8, I've seen, and straightened much worse. The way I judge whether Aluminum can be straightened, is to look at the areas where it has bent. If you can see cracks / splitting of the Aluminum. Then it's to far gone, to simply pound it back into shape. That will require professional reconditioning. But what I see here shouldn't be a problem. Hope it helps.

A 2x4 and a BFH will straighten that out.

aluminum has no memory, a pro might get done but don't get your hopes up. IF you straiten it out chances are it will crack, thats not a hard wheel to find,i would replace it. cheaper to replace than paying someone to try to fix it.
