Default Bent rim?

My mom ran over a nail in my 96 a4, and the driver's side back tire shredded during heavy traffic. She had to drive for like 2 blocks to get to a place to pull over.

I looked at my stock rim, and it appears to be fine, but is there a possiblity that it could be bent undetectably? If so, would such a small imperfection require me to get a new rim?

Default It could definitely be bent without you knowing or being able to feel it.

Most wheel repair shops can fix that pretty easily.
