Do you have bent 20" wheels on your Model 3?

Just got my first bent one on performance m3 at 12k miles. Local place is going to straighten it for 115.00 bucks. Don't remember hitting a pot hole but this is 20s life I guess. I have tracked the wheels before but usually use a dedicated set. Never bent them tracking it just must've happened driving

did straightening it hold up over time?

I do understand that the low profile tire is more subseptable to rim damage however the Tesla 20" rim seems to be very soft in my opinion. I took my wheels off to rotate them and noticed the inside of them were bent. I hit them with a rubber mallet and it straighten out the bent parts, not completely but much better.

Yeah, you probably don't want to be attempting to straighten out a cast wheel. I'd replace that thing as soon as possible. Castings can bend a little in one direction, but almost always crack at some level when you bend them back in the opposite direction. Might not be something you can see with the naked eye, but 100% I would recommend getting a replacement for it now.

Forged wheels are different, as long as it's done properly, you can usually bend them back without much issue.
