Our beastly Rabbit (golf...) had alloy rims, and yes, they do bend.  I
think these were a titanium alloy (or magnesium) they were really light,
and doubled the value of the car.

I seem to remember one bent when driven over a curb.  So I bet an impact
like a fender-bender could put one out-of-round.
