2. I was at CMP this weekend and changed tires at the track. The installer informed me that i have two bent wheels, but to my eye i can't tell. He was able to balance them out just fine but is it a good idea to replace them immediately, or can i potentially be fine for a while? I honestly can't tell a difference when driving and because I really only drive to and from the track, this could have happened almost a year ago when I installed the wheels. ...

1. You don't need to let the clutch out in every gear, you should at least go into the gate for the gear. For example, 4th to 2nd, while braking, clutch in, go into the gate for 3rd, then go into the gate for 2nd, blip, clutch out. This reduces synchro load, and consequently, wear.
2. If they balance fine, and aren't leaking, keep using them. Keep in mind that they won't be as strong since the structure is now compromised.
