That kinda concerns me... since there's a lot... and I do mean a lot of pot holes where I live, all the rims on my BMW are bent due to potholes, even though they're quite strong (hit a curb once while drifting it, bent the control arms, but the rim was lightly chewed for the impact) |

i curbed my right front rims a little bit the first few days i had the car. little too eager on a roundabout. The car doesn't sway to either side and there is no strange noises. the rims likes like its lightly scratch no where near as damage as OP but i did feel a thump when the rims made contact with the curb. Should i be worry? i have jacks at home i could jack it up and take off the wheels to looks but i would have no idea how to tell if anything need replacement it its not obviously bent or broken.

Yep, I agree with having the alignment checked (and wheel balance).
If the tech cannot get it within alignment specs, and/or the wheel won't balance, that indicates something may be bent. If it "growls" that may indicate a whacked out wheel bearing. humfrz PS - "weel" is NJ speak for wheel ..... |
