u gotta take the tire off and tighten or loosen the little screws which connect the spokes 2 the wheels
-
define "buckled" if the rim is bent or has a flat spot it needs a new rim. if it is warped, it can be fixed. loosen all the spokes, A BIT, then the cheap way is to use a brake pad as a guide and slightly tighten each spoke 'till all are tight and the rim is hopefully straight.

Loosening the spokes is only half the job. You really need a good deal of spoke tension to get a durable wheel. Riding with slack spokes is a sure recipe for future failures.
