Bent Rims/Run-Flats suck!

I just replaced my stock run-flats and came to find out I had two bent rims. The run-flats suck and MINI should have known better because no road in the Northeast is smooth enough for these unforgiving tires.

Same story here, but only one bent rim. Since it was on the inside I used a BFH to put it back in round.

The reason they include runflat tires on the MCS is because there is no spare
