That depends on what kind of rim and the damage done to it? If the rim is steel, and the rim is merely cracked, yes it can be fixed. You would weld the crack closed. If the rim is bend, and the dent is not on the bead (place where the tire meets the rim) but ont he outside lip, you can simply sledge it back to place. If the rim has a flat spot, then the rim should be fixed by a professional to get it trued. If the rim is aluminum, everything changes. If there are minor scratches, you can get the rim resurfaced and the rim will be fine. After that, any other kind of damage is either irrepairable, or would most likely cost more than a new rim. Best thing to do, if it is an aluminum stock rim, is go to your local scrap yard and find a vehicle with one on it. You can even go to your local Costco tire shop(yes, Costco). They have a listing of a local wheel shop which can try to order your rim.

Can bent car rims be fixed?

I'm assuming you have like the SC1 or something. Yes. Steel rims can easily be fixed. Hammer the dents out - or if you don't mind paying the 20 bucks, you can take it to a tire shop and they'll do it for you. Probably a better idea to have them do it, you'll want it rebalanced afterwards.Flip side, steel rims new are only like 50 bucks, or 20 at a junkyard.. put a nice hubcab over it and it'll look just like your others.HOWEVER:Alloy rims should not be straightened. The SL2 and other upper end Saturn's came original equipment with Alloy's, and bending the rim typically causes significant metal fatigue and the rim will fail... not a pleasant experience.
