The aluminum alloy (mag) bike wheels are manufactured using the same processes as car rims are, so I'd assume they're straight.

Your second point here is the "thorn in the side" of the whole plan... purchase price. But, lucky enough, you can usually find a bike sitting in a junkyard somewhere.

I'm sure this would be a great project for a modder to take on with a rear-ended car and junkyard access.

Come to think about it, I have a rear-ended CR-X Hf sitting in my dad's barn.. too bad its getting cut up come spring, and most of the rest of the car is garbage.
