Bent factory wheels?

So apparently my 2 rear wheels have bends in them. I had a vibration issue that I was able to get balanced out. Now I got new tires put on and it came back. I have had 2 shops try to get rid of the vibration, both using roadforce machines. The place that specializes in Acura and Honda says the 2 rear wheels have bends in them and that our factory wheels are made of pretty soft alluminum he says. I do live in a area with some potholes. Anyone else have issues with the factory rims? He said 2 replacment wheels would be $175 each.

Any wheel hit hard enough is going to bend. For the price you should just look for 2 used wheels on ebay or our black market

Well for shits and giggles I took the front right rim and tire and swapped it with the rear right rim and tire. No more vibrations Thats odd

I'ts common on these cars, I picked up a spare rim/tire combo cheap cuz it had a slight bend. It was able to be balanced out though.
