MI Bent wheel repair?

Damn Michigan roads anyway (and the people that refuse to allow an increase in the gas tax to fix them). I tagged a bottomless pothole on an entrance ramp to I-96 at high speed and one of my forged, JDM-only, incredibly expensive Volks wheels got bent. The seating edge of the wheel is shoved in along about 2"-3" of the circumference. I have little doubt that a cast wheel would have broken from the impact. It's still safe to drive I think, but:

Can anyone recommend a shop that can bend it back out correctly?

I had my Volks done at Wheel Medic here in Columbus. www.wheelmedic.com

They did an excellent job and I highly recommend them.
