There are places that specialize in straightening alloy wheels. I'm sure you can find some in FL if you Google it. Usually, they heat the damaged area and apply hydraulic pressure on a special machine to push the rim back into round.
I had a bent 16" and a place here in NH had it done in about a hour from car in to car out the door. Cost about $100. Considering 16" rims for these cars are becoming harder to find, being able to straighten them is good.
