Just had an MOT and warranty check done at BMW and have ended up with 3 advisories for 3 buckled wheels.

These are 19" 442m wheels.

What are my options? BMW have quoted me £660 per wheel but is there anywhere that sells genuine wheels cheaper? Or is it possible to get buckled wheels repaired?

It's the first time I've ever had this happen.

Did they fail the MOT and is there any excessive wobbling or vibrations in the car?

What I am getting at here is to get them checked at a second source. 3 buckled wheels seems really unlikely. I've only ever had a single buckled wheel in 15 years of driving.

No wobbling or vibrations when driving. I think it was picked up on the end of warranty check. Was thinking of getting a second opinion as I had 4 new tyres fitted around 2 months ago and nothing was mentioned then.

Been driving about the same amount of time and never had a buckled wheel before either.

Had a look and they seem to be going for about the same price plus I was a bit worried as I might be buying another buckled one!
 
Thanks for the link, don't know how I missed them! I'm based in the north west so quite far away but i'm sure I will find some closer eventually.

Will take the wheels off at the weekend and check them over.
 
Might be worth a punt on the repair considering the cost. Seems like the wheel specialist in Manchester is 2 miles from work so will have to drive in one day this week and get them to take a look.
 
Good shout. I did have all 4 tyres changed not long ago and they didn't mention anything.

I'll take it somewhere else and get them to check.
