Buckled Wheel

Discovered yesterday that the rear offside wheel on my G31 is buckled. Despite the garage trying to neutralise it you can feel it from 50mph upwards.

The cars got the 20" individual wheels and still has the original factory fitted run-flats on.

Anybody had any luck trying to get BMW to cover it under warranty?

I'm pretty annoyed considering the wheel and tyre are both spotless and to my knowledge haven't hit any major potholes that would cause such damage. To me it seems like the wheels clearly aren't fit for use with run flats if they are going to bend so easily.

Alternatively whats the thoughts on companies offering straightening services?

BMW want £900 for a new wheel which is out of the question.
