I'm only going to say the obvious, in that how badly buckled, where abouts and how did you find the damage?

Repairing a buckled alloy is very difficult.

Pictures might be useful.

Could just be very difficult to balance? My 18s are a right pain in the ar$e, quackfit and so forth really can't balance them, needs a smart guy to do them inside and out.
