the cup racers had magnesium wheels, same style only lighter

yours are probably alloy, oe road wheels as mag wheels generally disintegrate with a good whack

I got quoted a ton for a 15" wheel to be straightened/buckle removed and refurbed;)

Apparantly they need to heat them up to straighten them, they will need refurbing due to the damage caused by the heat.

Unless he was trying to pull my pants down:laugh:
