to fix it, the rim needs to be heated up to reshape it. i heard the process of heating it weakens the rim a little. not sure if it's true.

Buy a new wheel and fix this one for a table in your house. Like DJ said, the properties of the metal (in that area) will be different thatn the rest of the wheel if repaired and not safe for a high performance car IMO.
