We used to tidy up a lot of wheels at the indie body shop where I worked previously, some success, some not. Older Vauxhall wheels used to be the worst, some of them were as soft as shit and split so easily. Cant do wheels where I am now (Mercedes main dealer). It all depends how bad they are to start with.

Its really hard for the tires to do this type of thing. There are vary little chances of straightening them, not depending upon the way whether in what way they are disturbed. This thing known for only the Rims not for the tires.
