I DON'T KNOW HOW MINE WERE ACTUALLY STRAIGHTENED, BUT I'VE SEEN VIDEOS WHERE THEY SPIN THEM AND PUSH THE BENT SIDES OUT OR IN WITH A SPECIAL ROD. THEY COME OUT DEAD STRAIGHT.

It requires a special jig and an experienced operator to straighten wheels. In my case my Audi dealer has a sister Mercedes service center with the capability. There are also indy shops that specialize in wheel straightening.
