My second problem is that it now looks like my rim is bent. I was spinning it on the axle and it does not look true. Can I just replace the rim and re lace it to the hub? Where can I get this piece?
I can take pics if need be.

Front Mag wheel on eBay
Rear Mag wheel on eBay
Those are some options I found but it seems to me like I should just buy a rim and have the local shop relace it for me.

Boca Raton FL, how much do you want and are they true and balanced?
Rims should be checked, and if needed trued, whenever a new tire is installed. Most motorcycle shops can true it for you, it's just a matter of adjusting the spokes.
Tires are balanced on the rim, it's a waste of time to balance a bare rim, as soon as a tire is installed the balance is gone,

I would like to know where I could find a new rim to relace to my hub if that is another option.

Are you saying that the rim moves side to side as the wheel turns?
If it is, then being a spoked wheel that's about a $20-$30 fix at any halfway decent bike shop. If the spokes are not checked and tightened when required, then the wheel gets out of true, and that's pretty common.
If it is a mag wheel, then you have to replace it, in my opinion anyway, I don't want to ride on a mag wheel that someone straightened.
