In general, it's best to NOT attempt to repair a bent rim... assuming that's what you mean; especially if it's an alloy rim. The alloy rims tend to be a little stronger, but once they are bent, they're pretty much finished.

On the other hand, if you really are talking about a bent "tire", you should know that when a tire is out of round it's generally caused by a slipped belt, meaning that the steel belt under the tread area has become de-laminated from the rest of the tire, resulting in the slipped condition and in the out of round appearance. The tire cannot be repaired once a belt slips. On the other hand, if you are the original purchaser of the tire and if there is sufficient tread wear left, it MAY be worth your effort to take the tire to an authorized dealer for that tire and try to get a replacement.

You have a tire out of balance, bent wheel, or defective tire. Have the tires inspected, rotated, & balanced. Make sure they inspect the wheel. If that does not solve the problem you have worn suspension or steering parts. After all this vehicle is 14 years old.
