I've had some refurbished with a straighten at the same time. You can't avoid it when you've got 30 or 35 profile tyres as there's not enough there to provide any shock absorption if you hit a pothole.

Place near me in Crawley does it - they basically have to heat the wheel and apply pressure to get it back where it should be, then refurb after as the heating will damage the finish.

The 20s on my wife's S5 had 3 out of 4 needing straightening to some degree....
