I hit mine out with a hammer I recently had 3 studs break on one wheel and I almsot lost the car completely. Luckily I saved the car and the rim. I think it might not be bent but I have to get it checked out when i balance it since I was doing 65 when they decided to break on me. Luckily I had my SVT parts car in my backyard and had the studs changed in 15 mins. I put an old lug on the stud and gave it a few taps the came out really easily. Since then I havent noticed any noises or anything coming from that side of the car. My steering has some vibrations thats why i question the rim being bent but it really doesnt vibrate all the time. I am going to take my car in for an alignment as soon as I replace my alt under warranty and we will find out the outcome.
