Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I’m going to take the wheel off to see if it can be straightened at a local shop. Is it safe enough to leave one corner on a jack stand or should I really have both front and rear on stands for stability?

I would be more than happy with three wheels and one jack stand (set as low as it will go).
Thanks, that was my intention too. Only lift as high as I need to in order to get the wheel off.
I see lots of jack pads to protect the jacking point from metal on metal damage, but not many if at all for jack stands?

Depending on the design of your jack stand you can buy shaped rubber pads on eBay or from the manufacturers. You can also buy stands with rubber tops.

The flat type with rubber tops do appeal but they seem to be US manufacturers. Regular ones and newspaper it is then!
in order of preference
- stick on a spare wheel
- prebook slot so on axel stand and/or trolley jack with puck for not long
- sell the car buy a new one with no buckled wheels

Or use a set of Fandango’s finest :
My mate Carlos swears by them, and says they last forever (and they’ve really helped him hone his high speed car control skilz)

What are they called? Something like that would be really handy, especially if you can get them in multiple bolt patterns.
They’re universal, 4, 5 and I think 6 stud patterns, and the holes are elongated to allow different PCD bolt patterns.

What on earth are those?
They’re what my wheel refurb guys use to enable them to move cars around whilst they're refurbing the wheels off them.
