I'm basically with Tim on this one.
More information would help but...If you can't feel it and it the sidewalls are still "straight" (probably meaning you can't feel it when braking either) then I would let it be. My Rambouillet has a rear rim "ding" (or two) that I don't worry about. I've have straightened bent rims before, but a vertical rim bend can be a pain to fix.
