Mine have never been visibly buckled either. The inside edge just gets slightly off-round so they no longer run 'true'. A good alloy wheel refurb place should be able to check it and straighten it for you, if it is slightly buckled. You might be able to tell if you measure the diameter of the inside of the wheel at various points and look for any slight differences in measurements.
