Default Bent stock 17" Gs rim

Couple of weeks ago I hit a pot hole on the highway so hard that I bent my17"Stock rear driver side rim and because of that got a flat. Because of the bent rim tha tire would not hold air. The guy at the local tire shop banged the rim out so it hold the air but now when I drive I feel that the rim is not 100% round. What I want to know is can I do a counter balance on that rim to stop the vibration or I need a new rim. At highway speeds it shakes the car. Thankx.

Can't you use your spare? Since it's stock you should have a spare that is exactly the same.

Get if fixed or replace it, those are your only options. I used this place >> http://www.wheelcollision.com/ . They do great work and get your rim back to you within a few days. They will also do a swap for you but it costs a little more $$.
