Replacing a tire on a bent rim

One of my rear rims is bent and I was curious... Will a tire shop be able to replace the tire or will I have to pay to get the rim repaired? The outer lip isn't too bad but the inner is bent noticibly.

Also, would you trust those mobile rim repair guys that come to your house and repair the rim right there? I'm a little skepticle on who to trust with my rims.

Find out who the tire shops send their wheels to. Or ask people in the local sub-forum for wherever you are. That's a start.

Get it fixed, don't be stupid.

I would suggest getting it fixed, then having the tire replaced... Would not want it to cause an issue.
