Just some advice needed, I purchased a set of softstars off a member on here, they were as expected until I realised two were mishapen on the inside rim (buckled) how bad are these and are they usable??

I'd run them on the rear no problem, what are the other wheels on the car?

If your worried why not get the wheel straightened at an alloy repair shop?
My mate does this for £35-65 per wheel in Glasgow, I would expect it to be similar down your way mate
Thats a bit more of a bend than I'd be happy with tbh

I'd never run those like that

When your expecting four straight wheels to arrive its a disappointment
There are five for a £100 on corsa sport and no one has shown any interest

Just had a look he won't post and its miles away
No way would I run them, never
The wheels you have on look way better anyway
I ran a set of alessios buckled that bad on the back and tbh it did get irritating people pulling up along side you at the lights and asking was your wheel loose, iirc Riggy had a few single soft stars to part with, not sure on the colour or condition though
i have seen worse and my 17's on my cav are not far off that i get a little vibration but they handle fine and i have no tyre pressure problems. so long as the tyre seals well i would run them but either way i would look at getting them sorted
If i had bought them as straight and ok, id be taking them back if buckled. Simple as that.

Just get them straightened it takes seconds.
Don't run buckled wheels though.
