Sorry to hear of your damaged wheel...
Why wheels with tyres...you can use the ones off your original
Brabus wheels...and you could get them cheaper w/out tyres.

As for your wheel...is it just 'flat spotted' or has the impact been
that hard that it's fooked the tyre. (It will have if you drove when
it was deflated).

IF it is falt spotted is is possible to fix...take a few pictures of the
damage and email them to Rob@S2smarts.co.uk   give it a while,
then call and ask it he can fix/re-shape it. 01923-771222
(S2smarts are in Watford, Hertfordhsire.) See what he says.

I smacked mine straight with a rubber mallet

The wheel doesn’t get bent

It just pushed the lip of the rim out

Sorry - I should clarify

Check that the wheel is actually bent

Just because the edge of the wheel moves it doesn’t mean the whole wheel is bent

Check the centre line of the wheel/tyre
