900 bent rim: fix or replace?

I have a 900SE with the 5 lug allow wheels. My shop discovered that the inside rim in the back was bent from a blow from a pothole or something. The tire is also damaged. I've only had the car since spring and am not aware of any significant impact so it may have been this way when I bought it. It's not terribly bad, I haven't noticed any vibration so I assume the wheel is still round.I am concerned that the replacement tire may not seat properly.
There are shops that repair these wheels... a good idea? If not, can you suggest options for getting a used wheel that will be reliable. If it's a reconditioned wheel,isn't there a chance they already made a repair like this? I don't want to buy 4 aftermarket wheels.
Thanks.
