Default 360 Forged wheel problems

I have an 08 Z06 that I drive every day with 360 Forged wheels. It only sees freeways in Houston which are in good shape and I am very careful to avoid curbs. My problem is 3 of the 4 wheels are now slightly bent. In talking with tire specialists and a local Corvette shop, they are telling me my experience is common.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I've been on 3pc wheels for over a year now (not 360 Forged) and I haven't had a problem...Figure out if it's the inners or outers that are bent and order replacements from wheelflip.com...

Yes i bought a set and had the same thing happen then the owner of the company would not call me back after spending like 25 k with them on two sets of wheels. Crap if you ask me. Get a set of HREs and never look back
