So due to some bad luck and probably some carelessness though really this road was just stupidly built on xmas eve, i ran over a 2" tall curb / island on an unlit street. at something like 25-30mph. anyway i managed to ruin 2 runflat tires, and bend 4 rims on a 1 month old car.
tires and front rims were in stock , but the rear rims had to be ordered from germany and took 4 weeks (will be here next week).
Anyway got my insurance claim and car is fine. that said what do you do with 4 bent rims? I will have 4 18" BMW 400M m-sport rims. they look perfect other than the inner edge is bent on all 4 of them to varying degrees. they only had 900 miles on them.
Does anyone buy these things? What would you do with 4 rims? Make a coffee table (i'm thinking about doing this, but i don't need 4 of them obviously). I suppose they may be repairable enough for say track / winter use (though i did a pretty good job ruining these and im told maybe not repairable) but i'm already past that given i got new ones. Can I get money for them as scrap even?
