Default One wheel slightly bent?

I got some new rubber put on my 18x9.5 Steeda Ultra-lite Silvers (I can't even find them on the Steeda site anymore) and when the shop went to balance my passenger rear wheel they said it was bent slightly. I did curb that rim in the past, didn't think I hit it that hard though. They were able to balance the wheel but I am getting paranoid about it so I am wondering if there is anything I should do about it. I don't drive it much anymore because I can walk to work now and when it sits for a while it does shake a little bit (wheel shakes a little and the car does too), but once you've been on the road for a while (2 minutes or so) it goes away (Cold tires? It sits for 3-5 days sometimes).

Also, my passenger front is popping, thinking it's front ball joint. Anything I should check before I go ahead and replace it (just to make sure that's what is wrong)?

I think there are places that can straighten a slightly bent wheel.

I wouldn't worry about it.. especially if you didn't notice anything before you knew about it. I dented a wheel pretty bad.. was super paranoid, but ended up driving on it for over a year. It has no issues..

Regarding the shaking after sitting for a while.. just cold tires.
