Bent Wheel - any options?

[TNW]

My car is at the dealership for inspection at the moment after I managed to run over a rather large bit of timber that someone helpfully left across a sliproad on to the Emirates Road at night. They are suggesting that it needs a new wheel as the front left is bent. I’m not surprised by the diagnoses, but does anyone know if there’s any way it can be safely put back in to shape?

There’s no visual damage to the wheel and it only manifests itself as a slight vibration at around 65kph, so I’m guessing it’s a bit out of round as opposed to being square. The car gets used on track a bit so I’d rather not bother with a repair if it’s not going to be the best route, but a replacement wheel from Porsche is 7.5k AED. Any ideas?

Worked a treat and only took an hour or something

Many thanks for this, took the car there this morning and 400aed / 30mins later it's as good as new.

Cheers!
