Default Repairing a buckled alloy?

Is it possible to repair an alloy wheel if it has a small buckle?

My Audi has one that causes a vibration at around 75mph which feels like an unbalanced wheel. I only ask as Audi have had a look today and quoted £412 for a new alloy and the spare is a slightly different style to the others

Thanks Tim, will give them a call tomorrow. The name Ian Jemison rings a bell though, is that who Paul Ripley had big problems with when having his Oz Mags repaired?
