Bent rim?

If it is bent badly and has a visible wobble to it do not ride on it. It's very dangerous. Even if it holds air, it could damage your tire like the Eskimo man said, if it wobbles in a turn, you could fall over, it could lose pressure suddenly causing a crash, and it would be extra not safe at high speed.

I'm in the same situation as you, but with a slightly bent rim. I tried to ride it and I could feel the wobble. I'm going to replace it if I can find a decently priced rim locally or on ebay. If I can't I'm going to have it repaired by a guy in Napa. GP Wheel and Frame. I talked to him and he is a very nice and helpful guy, and from what I have heard he does very good work.
