Metal bends while cast aluminum cracks. They can be repaired using tig welding for your wife's grocery getter I wouldn't do it on a performance car with a low profile tire

IMHO, I would pass since remember reading horror stories (cannot remember if these came from the POC or Alfa site) about wheels failing on the track due to cracks or simply metal fatigue...
