Default bent aluminum wheel ( video )

i was driving home yesterday and had an old lady point out to me that my wheel in the back was wobbly.. hmm so i get home, jack it and she was right... weird thing is i couldnt tell the diff driving with a bent wheels... no shaking or weird noises from the back axle

wheels are 15x8 eagle alloy 187 with 3.25 offset with 32x11.5 bfgs, good thing i have 5 of them so the bent one will serve as a spare now

my question is what can cause such a severe damage to the wheel? i inspected the wheel and it has no signs of any damage or crack or whatever

Make sure that it is the wheel and not the axle shaft or tube that is bent. Usually if your wheel is bent there will be some sign of damage on the wheel.
