Heat isn't necessary.  Ronal R8s, just like early BBS rims are almost
butter-soft.  A good whack or two with a dead-blow hammer and they'll
be straight enough for your purposes.  

FWIW - I purchased a set of BBS rims for the Slorocco.  Being true
BBS rims, they're all bent in some shape or form.  When I had the
tire/rim combo rebalanced, my buddy at the tire shop beat the rims to
relative straightness.  They balance out OK, they're just a bit oval
