Nah, don't worry about the heat. Depending on the type and grade of metal they used during construction not a lot of heat is needed to make the wheel plyible. Most shops have a wheel straightened which for smaller bends like this simply used brute force to restore the curvature of the wheel. No worries!

these are 2pc 20" iforged forza! I got them from a local seller.
Glad to hear that!
Should I just leave it?
the thing is i do feel wobbling at 35-40mph
glad to hear that!@!!!!!
definitely lessen my worries!
Thanks! I'll probably go to this wheel repair shop and get all the wheels a check, since I did get them 2nd hand. Just to make my worries go away. But glad that this isn't sth major..

update:
had all the wheels checked at a local wheel repair shop.(quite reputable)
all 4 wheels r bent.(kinda expected..)
had the front 2 fixed for 300 + balancing , no tax(reasonable i guess..)
one of the rear in pretty good shape,
while the other one has a dent(shown in the picture).
All 4 wheels are fixed a few times before i got them.
According to the guy , i'll be back by the end of the year for another fix~~
this the kind of the price you gotta pay for the looks :thumbsdown:

not trying to be harsh but its the price you pay for not completely looking over the wheels before purchasing, not for the looks....havent said that, the pic you show above should be nothing to fix as others have mentioned! I have straightened way worse on my old Iforged wheels with a heat gun and a rubber mallet. while that wouldnt be the ideal "perfect" solution, you can get it straight enough visibly to not wobble/shake/etc and will balance out just fine
Thanks for ur comment!
