Cost me £50 to have one straightened, that was on 18" wheels tho.

Stick the wheel on the rear axle and find the buckle by spinning the wheel, usually the rim is bent in. Mark the low point, remove the wheel and hit it with a big hide mallet. Put the wheel back on and re check. You can also use a tape measure, to see how much it has moved when you hit it. I have done quite a lot over the years, potholes, low profile tyres and big wheels, all contributing factors.
