There are wheel specialists who do this for a living, usually with insurance repairs on expensive OEM alloy wheels. So yes, alloy wheels (I'm assuming they're alloy?) repair very easily. If they're steel I would still inquire, its a similar issue.
They will put the rims onto a modified lathe and spin the edges down a fraction to get them perfect. They can straighten alloy wheels out which are bent and even add alloy to repair missing chunks of wheel.
The cost is not great. The last I had done was a looooong time ago in Perth (Leo Gommer) but it was very little per rim. Maybe 30 bucks each?
