For a stock wheel, just look on ebay and buy a new one. Straightening a wheel will run you between $150 and $200. Worth it if the wheel is worth $500, not worth it if you can pick a new one up off of ebay for $150.

Is the tire losing air?

It looks like the hubcap is bent.

lol, I’m on my phone and didn’t even realize that was a steelie under there, I thought I was looking at the caliper.

If it’s not losing air or causing a thumping, just leave it and buy a new hubcap.

How much do you think a hubcap would cost me?

In the amount of time it took you to type that, you could have googled “2013 Honda Civic LX hubcap” and come up with the answer yourself.

I bet the OP could straighten that hubcap out with a smoke bender. Any parts store should have one of those you could pick up for cheap.
