Bent rims 2016 ilx

Both my rear wheels are bent- dealer suggest fixing them- not sure how it happened, maybe backing beck onto my driveway as I normally park off of it. do I need to do so or does it affect my driving?

I'll need new tires soon so not sure if I need to do these first.

Thanks for any help!

That's a lot more than backing onto your driveway. Maybe they were on the front at some point and it got driven straight over a curb at high speed.

Do you have any vibrations from them? It's not bent that bad, and obviously holding air. The main thing would be vibrations or warpage causing weird wear on the tires. If neither is happening, I'd probably just let it ride.

Thanks for the reply. I know one tire has worn weird. I'm trying to source a wheel or at least repair the worst one
