Bent front rim

Noticed a couple of days ago that my Ten had a wobble on the road which was most noticeable between 30 and 50 kph. Checked the front wheel by spinning it, and its aver so slightly out of true. There is no apparent dent or ding in it, its just out of true by about 5 mmm. You can see this by lifting the front wheel off the ground and spinning it. I had been doing some off-roading, but it wasn't that heavy. I took it in to a dealer and he says it needs a new one. I always thought you could true a wheel if it wasnt dinged, is the dealer having me on? Any suggestions welcome cos I don't want to buy a new rim....
