Title pretty much says it all
I recently got a 1999 YZ125
Which I haven ridden other than up and down the street .
I broke the throttle cable and haven't had a chance to fix it yet .
Any way white it was on the stand I spun the front wheel a noticed otd bent wobbles side to side
Than I tried the rear and it is bent also
But not as much as the front
The front is bent a little more than I'm comfortable with
Riding
So as the title says
Can MX wheels be fixed or do they have to be Replaced ?

No flat spots or cracks that I see
Best to remove the tire and have a good inspection of the wheel anyway, before you start jumping obstacles.
The Shop
You sure you're not confusing bent rims with the fact they aren't trued properly?
If you have never trued a wheel, just bring it to a shop and have a qualified person do it. If you just have side to side movement and very little or no "up and down" movement it can be trued. You could actually ruin the rim not knowing what you are doing.
