Bent wheel need fixing

So I got new tires 5 months ago and I am noticing a vibration. Had them balanced a fw times but no go.
I know one of my wheels was bent as the guy told me who balanced it but I guess the new tires are more performance so show the vibration more.

These are stock 17" wheels and the wheel that is bent you cannot really tell looking at if it is bent.

I need a local shop in south bay that is good and reasonable who can fix the bent. Please post if you have recommendations.
Thx

i take my rims to Wheels Techique in Santa Clara. They are a bit pricey but there work is flawless and you can see some of their work that they do if you decide to pc your wheels or in the future ever decide to do something different

I have seen a few on Ebay that are running around $150-200 range used. If I get them what is guarantee that it is perfect so I am not sure what to do.

How much fixing a bent wheels runs? Btw the bent is so minor that you can only notice when you spin the wheel during balancing. I cannot really notice it.
