A 2 pounder does fine.

Default It's not the size that matters ;-)

Just don't hit it too hard, and if it's a big bend, you might not be able to bend it back.. Make sure that the tire is full of air etc..

You more or less want to just persuade the wheel back into shape, not pound the living cr@p out of it.
