Get them repaired and sell them if that's an option?

If I sell them what do I buy. I have been told they are forged.
I can see a lifetime of fixing wheels

I still think the some of the stock AMG wheels look great on these things. I can't wait to get rid of my 20's to be honest.

I've bent my 3pc 20" wheels before and had them repaired no problem. I'd repair rather than replace, especially if you spent as much as I did on the them.

I agree, everyone said how good my car looked with the 20" rims and lowered, repair wont cost as much as buying new.
I agree the stock 65 19" rims are nice, but I bent one on a pothole and it
cost 1500$ to buy 1 new one.
Perhaps I was unlucky, but when I get them back I will have to have the
reflexes of a F1 driver to dodge the pot holes.

I was charged roughly $75 a wheel to have mine straightened back out.
