Any good rim service can repair the rim to like new shape.

While you are at Sears, pick-up a torque wrench. Lug should be torqued to about 85 ft. lbs. Someone please correct me on that.

IIRC, it is given as a range of 80-90 ft. lbs in the service manual. Whenever I remove my wheels, I usually do 85 and then re-torque a day or two later to be sure they're all snug.
