Slightly bend wheel

I fixed 2 flats and during the replacement they found that one wheel is slightly bent on the inner rim causing it to wobble just a little bit to the poitn where i can't really feel it. It is 17' web spoke and it is about 500 bux each from the dealership after tax and installation. Cna' really find one anywhere online cheaper.

It is possible to get it repaired/restraightened. it isn't too bad. it is to the point where i can't really tell too much of a difference in the ride. I just don't feel like dishing out 500 for just one wheel =/ what do you guys think?
