Default Wheel repair?

Im not sure if this is even possible, but if it is any recommendations would be helpful.

I took my car in to have some work done recently, part of it being an alignment and having the wheels rebalanced due to a perceived vibration.

It turns out my right front wheel has a dent on the inside edge (No clue how that happened, must have been a pothole).

Im curious if its possible to fix, and if so who can do it and how much am I looking at price wise? I want to put new shoes on her eventually, but moneys tight at the moment.

I have extensive plans for it, but I wanted to get the engine done prior to stylistic stuff. Unfortunately my front fascia and side sills are a little chewed up, and now with the wheel issue, I might wind up doing things a little backwards and pimping the look before the substance.
