steel rims we use a small sledge hammer on and can usually get it back real close to stock but Aluminum is so soft just becareful
we have got some back to were they would hold air with a hammer and vice grips but they weren`t bent that bad

Yea to far gone for a hammer for sure. I tried a little bit with no results. Just gonna run it to a shop that says they can fix it and see what they'd charge.
