So this would explain difference in cost over "balancing" a tire. Would this cure a "bump" in a wheel from a flat spot, caused by a pot hole hit? Or is replacement the only cure for something like that?

No, the Hunter GSP9700 ddoesn't fix mechanical problems. It only measures them.

Sorry for sounding stupid but does it match them or measure them?

It measures them & then provides direction on how to match by marking tire & wheel. Then, move tire to match up with mark on wheel.
^^ What ben said - although I'll quibble about how well it does given the flanges on some wheels.

You might be able to minimize the bump until you can afford to get a good wheel or have this wheel repaired. It isn't a fix, but might be a band aid.

This is what I was thinking about....obviously it wouldn't be a cure, I wouldn't expect a machine to "fix" this. Maybe my post was poorly worded.
There's actually two wheels that have been hit, neither really that bad, can't really even feel them. Was more out of curiosity if this match mounting would help band aid, as Ken said, this type of issue.
