I also have a bent front rim, and inquired about this at Brown Motor Works located in Pomona. As I recall, the cost was about $150 to have the rim straightened at this dealership. Brown Motor Works will out source this service. This price is removing the wheel yourself and bringing it in to them, otherwise the labor to r/r is another $125. When the service manager inspected mine, it was suggested to me to complete this repair when I'm going to replace the front tire.
Not sure what the condition of your wheel is, however if it's badly damaged or losing air, then you may want to get this repaired immediately.

Thankyou for the Reply
The guys at Browns are cool people.

I deal with Irv Seaver over here.  The service manager was nice enough to refer me to Dr John's in Anaheim.

Same as you suggested... when I am ready for a new front tire is when I will do the repair.

I'll dismount the wheel and dropoff. Approx 2 day turn around time
