Default 2 bent wheel replacement question

I slid into a curb and bent 2 rims on the same side on my Z. (Snow slides are fun). The other side is fine. Is their an issue if I get just a new front and back and leave the other side as is. Or do I have to replace all 4. I'll be re-installing the same tires on the new rims so the overall height will stay the same

I don't see any major issues with this, as long as you are sticking with a similar rim. If the rims are of significantly different weights I could see the machine pulling slightly to that side though.

If the new rims have the same offset you're okay.

Do not replace anything until its broken. 2 rims cost half as much as 4. Just make sure they are the same dimensions hight ,width, bolt pattern and offset and are alloy if that is what the other side is made of.
