Default Wheel Question

I've bent my wheel pretty bad last night, one wheel was bent from the lip, and one was bent on the circumfrence, and I was wondering if I take it to a shop and have someone straighten the wheels back, will the wheels going to be bent easlier if I hit a bump again in the future?

You have several potential problems:

1. Wheel-tire leaks air.
2. The tire is damaged.
3. The wheel is out of balance and cannot be balanced.
4. The suspension (front or rear) is out of alignment or damaged.

does anyone know where I can contact Volk, or does anyone know if Volk just sell the barrel of the rim, I mean they made it 2 piece so there must be a way to just get the barrel right.
