Last winter was terrible for potholes in NWIndiana and I managed to hit a few in my Acura CL. I thought I needed to have the wheels balanced but when I changed out the winter tires for summer I found three wheels were bent. There is a company that works out of Chicago and goes around to car dealers with a trailer to straighten wheels. I met the guy at a car dealer and he did the work while I waited (walked a short distance and had lunch actually). If I remember correctly they charged $75 per wheel and they did a fine job. Took between one and two hours. I'm sure there are similar services all over the country.
