There is actually a device that will pull flat spots out of rims if they're not terribly bent. The fact that such a tool exists is sort of a moot point because first you hve to find a shop that has one and talk to a person that knows what it is from all the other relics collecting dust on the wall from before the days of strong alloy rims and cheap pre-built wheels. Then you'll probably wind up paying about the same to fix your old rim as you will to just buy a new one. But the tool DOES exist.
