It's possibile to bend a rubicon 2015 stock wheel with 33" tires hitting a rock?
Today coming back from the trail I have seen the left rear wheel rolling excentric... The tire seams ok, the wheel have many deep scratches...any suggestion about what to search?
 
It is so easy to bent the axle flange? It is possibile to streigthen it again ?
Do you suggest to change it?
Thanks!
 
Take the tire off put it on flat ground and then roll it. If it wobbles pretty bad, then you more than likely bent your wheel
 
Ok, thanks!
Do you suggest to replace it with a standard axle or an Alloy axle?

I went they way of replacing with stock, just kept bending them. Just picked up ten factory shafts from Northridge 4x4 for a solid price and the warranty is pretty solid as well.
 
My stock rear flange bent super easy. All I did was slide off about a 10" tall rock into another rock. I couldn't see it visually, but my brakes started squealing horribly. Had to check run-out with an indicator.

I also chose to replace them with Ten Factory shafts.
