I've seen quite a few cars and trucks on the road with bent wheels from install issues. Usually they are from low profile tires on custom larger wheels.

Whatever type you end up getting be sure to look at the wheels in rotation after tires are mounted and on the balancing machine. They can bend and you'll rarely get a chance to see your own wheels spinning again because you'll be in the car driving.

For the set of 4 - 17 inch wheels that ended up on my Superformance it took 7 brand new wheels after three different tire shops severely bent three of them.
