Question What would it take to warp a forged BBS wheel?

What if you slid over a curb 4 inches high at 30mph? Cuz that is what I did and so far the only damage i know of is the dented lip on the wheel and off alignment. Tomorrow I will know if I need to get a new wheel, a lower control arm or whaterver else I f'ed up.

If tomorrow you find that you need a new wheel, then you will know one of the things that can warp a BBS

Thumbs up

Well turns out that I will not have to get a new wheel. Simply needed an alignment and so far all is well.
