ATV wheel/rim repair around BR

I somehow bent one of my rear wheels where it meets the tire on my ATV and now it slowly leaks air. I've tried Slime, but that didn't help.
Has anyone used Rim Pro or another business that does rim/wheel repair?
TIA

Rim Pros is good people but I'm not sure having them fix it is worth it. Have you considered just replacing the wheel? Probably $80-100.

Dismount the tire, beat the rim back into shape with a hammer, polish the lip with sandpaper, right before you seat the beads, spray the beads with clear spray paint.
It will seal any small knicks.

About to call Honda dealers to see how much they cost. I'll check ebay, etc. I don't know how much rim pro would charge, they couldn't tell me without looking at it. I might try to beat it back to normal myself first and if it doesn't work, then buy a new one.

Let the air out of the tire and push it down to break the seal with the rim. Use a small crescent wrench to "grab" the rim where it's bent. Apply force to bend back in shape.
