My OH has one, and has had to have three wheel repairs for buckling. Both front wheels (one repaired twice). Didn't realise it was a common problem!

Zetec S wheels (Both 5 spoke wheel types ) are bad for getting buckles, crap soft monkey metal being used for wheels is never good!

You can get buckled alloys repaired? I have four 16" MG TF alloys that I was about to take down the scrappy so I'm all ears. ears
