Slightly bent wheel... options?

Hello again,

I was on my normal club night ride taday and I was doing about 30 MPH and hit a small pothole in the road. Now my front wheel is slightly rubbing on the front brake... I mean slightly. It is enough friction to barly stop the wheel but it does after a little while. My question is what can be done about it. Please note that the wheels are race x lites areaos which I very strong and also expensive so buying a new wheel is out of the question. It is bent so slightly that you can not even see or feel the bend, it just rubs very very little.

So what are my options?? Can the wheel be trued? The rubbing peice is right above one of the spokes? Can it be straightened? Thanks

Going to my LBS tomarrow to have it looked at...
