Here is a different tack.
If "they" determined that the wheel on the other side cracked because it was defectively manufactured.
And this wheel cracked in a similar orientation to that defectively manufactured wheel,
And this wheel is of the same date code and lot number as the defectively manufactured wheel,
It is reasonable to believe that this wheel cracked for the same reason as the other wheel..... and bent as a result.
Since "they" already determined defective manufacture of one wheel, I think the burden of proof would be on them, to prove that the other was not defective in the same way. This is how I think a small claims judge (or clerk) would see it.
No metallurgist or expert witnesses required. Just simple common sense based on "their" initial report of the other wheel. ...... So the bend occurred after ??? Impossible to prove or deny. But that wasn't a vote option so I had to abstain. My money is on you if it ever went to a small claims court.
