Damn, that sucks. Not sure what the value of a 1K rim is, but last year when I was looking into having my rim straightened, it was anywhere between $225 ~ $400. It wasn't worth the cost in shipping and all that for me so I picked up a diffrent rim off ebay...which has a fu*king flatspot!

Look up a local frame repair shop and ask them if they, or someone they know can do it.
