Bent rim - again

[Perfectlap]

I have bent maybe six wheels in the 10 years, all OEM German wheels. Pressure cast alloys like the higher end BBS and OZ wheels are better than typical cast alloy wheel but will still bend if you hit it at just the wrong angle. I once bent a BBS RK wheel going maybe 3 mph onto car wash wheel track (I deserved that for going to a cheap car wash). Physics is an unpredictable thing when it comes to wheels.

The rule is low price, low weight, durability. You only get two of the three unless you go with a forged wheel but those are not cheap. Some wheels have a forged outer flange only to reduce cost.
