Are these your OEM wheels? They maybe covered under warranty... so you might as well ask your nearest dealer.
If not, it can probably be rebuilt, but for less you might be able to buy some used ones in our Parts/Sale forum.

Buckled? As in Tacoed? You can pretty easily repair Aluminum wheels with damage to the bead seat but if the actual rim is compromised, i.e., significantly out of round, I would consider new.
No, I wouldn't consider it, I would demand it.

the reputable wheel repair/refurbishing/modyfing shop near my place up here has some huge advanced machinery and huge factory, which i've had perfect work from, hub/pcd size modifications which i was sceptical about. any mag u want 4 ur 8 u can have custom modded. buckles should'nt b a problem. if it's ur original 18'' rims. worth fixing. new cost R35K!!!!

If stock...upgrade. If aftermarket, go to Wheel Collision Center in Pennsylvania. Fix for $130 per wheel complete usually. Had the same happen and they did a great job.
