I suppose it depends on how badly bent they are, but I'm not sure I'd be happy riding a bike with any type of wheels that had been straightened!!!!

Places that specialise in fixing wheels wouldn't entertain repairing an OZ I have that has a hairline crack.

That said, I've an idea they were under the misapprehension that the wheel contained magnesium (I believe some of the really really light ones do).
