I had said to you on msn about those alloys being super soft, assuning its teh lag we're talking about

Depending on how bad they are i'd be inclined to say they're more likely to crack than other wheels

you won't lose anythign trying, if they hold air then they can be straightened for sure, if theres a big gap, the biggest gap I have got back withouth cracking is about 15mm

Yeah I know about their super softness, i'm not even sure how many and how badly and of them are kinked , but hitting a kerb at 40mph is gonna do some damage. Luckily the kerb was 'angled'.
