Bending where? I beat the sh1t out of my steel wheels and they never missed a beat as far as straightness and balance. I had to hammer the bead lips back quite a few times but they never bent in a way that affected balance/wobble.

That's what i would have expected to!

i already had two get bad enough that i needed to designate one spare only, and buy another. that was before the new rear axle and when i swapped on the beadlocks things got noticeably better again.

it's creating a wobble in them, twisting the mounting surface out of square with the wheel.
