dont think they can and i'd be very dubious about compaines who claim they can repair.

got 2 buckled wheels on the rear now, as a temp fix it's reduced vibrations but still avoiding motorways and heavy braking

a buckled wheel can be repaired but it will always be weaker at the point its been repaired at

depends on how much "heating up and knocking back" it needs a slight buckle should be ok, wouldnt touch it if its badly buckled though for safety reasons

Yes they can be sorted depending on the extent.

I took my cousins car to a lad I know thinking I had a puncture . Turned out there was a puncture/buckle in the wheel.

Heated up with a blowtorch and hit back out with a mallet.

Will always be weaker and leaves marks.

you sure its buckled and not just flattened? To buckle it you must of hit hard. Personally i would buy a new wheel and keep the other as a spare
