I'll trade my brand new PS A/S Plus set of 4 tires (front 245/40 18, rear 275/35 18) for M166s

Even when they are ALL bent? I have bent maybe two wheels in 30 years of driving. All four bend, on the same car!!!! Unless I drove the car over some nasty curbs like something from a cops episode I'm gonna bitch to BMW... a LOT...

After 26K miles I discovered that all 4 rims (Star Spoke 124) have cracks.
Is it OK to weld it, or I must get new rims?
It is 550i 2007 w/sport
Thank you all for your suggestions.
Anyhow welded 3 rims(one had two cracks) and the 4th was bended, so fixed it too. Cost me $280.
Put brand new tires Michelin PS a/s plus
Drove about 500 miles (400 highway). So far so good. Haven't noticed any difference,except switching from RFT to non-RFT gives more smooth ride.

I decided to switch to M166s for summer. Any recommendation on good mechanic/tire specialist in NYC area?
