2 of my wheels are buckled and need replacing. Do I have to replace all 4 wheels or just the two that are damaged?

As long as the others are in good shape you can just replace the damaged ones. The hard part is usually finding the correct replacements. For that I would say to use Car-Part.com Enter the info and then select wheel display w image Select the one you want, and it will show you salvage yards that have them. Most will ship them to you.

Thank you very much, I'm in France and the garage I'm using tells me people are reluctant to ship them because of expense. At least I only need two then. Thanks.

Yeah shipping across the pond can get very expensive. You should be able to find a place there that scraps cars and you can get them used.
