If a wheel gets significantly buckled (i.e., bent by sideways force so that it's out of true by a couple of centimetres) is it safe to use if it can be brought back to (acceptably) true? Or is it new bike time?
a new rim would be better than using the buckled old rim. "a few cm" sounds a little too damaged for re-truing.
