That sucks!

What size are they? Will you be getting the bends fixed? If so, from where?

Not surprised. For that price I knew something had to be fishy but at least it leaves you room to get them re-straightened.
What was the name of the place so we protect ourselves.

My new policy is not to buy used wheels unless I get to spin them on a balancer first.

At the very least, roll them on a flat surface. Some people are just too stupid to know if they are bent.

Yes, there is always a risk, I don't mind too much because I knew they needed some refinishing, but the funny part is that someone whe "has been working on those cars for 20 years" kept saying " I can't see anything, it's nothing..."
