Anybody want some bent wheels? :)

But seriously, what do I do with these things?

how badly bent are they?

I thought Arc-8s were supposed to be strong wheels... a little scary.

They're bent enough to cause vibration and noise.

They were from a crashed car. :/ lesson learned. Sigh.

They're lightweight and not forged... not strong enough IMO.
Almost any wheel is a risk on our cars though so that doesn't mean much.

Doubt they were as effed up as my BBS' when I bought them. They're probably fixable; try it! It might be worth your while.

No they're flow formed which is usually just as strong as forged so it is weird they cracked, they should hold up.
