On some wheels they can be knocked back into shape. Talk to a refurbishing guy, about £30 per wheel?

A guy i went to for a tyre, i told him it was losing air and he reckoned it was a little buckled. Out came the hammer, and while telling me not to try this myself, he proceeded to hammer it back into shape! Never leaked since!  :laugh:

Until you get the wheel repaired, try swapping back wheels with the front. You don´t cure the problem but the steering wheel won´t vibrate unless there is a problem with the rears as well!
Another point. Try getting them re-balanced. Just because they have been kerbed does not mean to say they are bent. Perhaps just a weight knocked off. Fingers crossed.
