Bent rims

Any advice? Just bought my first MB S550 2015, had for 4 months. I have already replaced one rim on front for $1200, now because of vibration i have been told both the back ones are bent. Do i keep replacing with factory or move to something else?
Love the car, just thought the rims would be of better quality.

Welcome to MBWorld. If your roads are crap, might want to get stronger wheels. Of course, you'd pay a premium for stronger forged wheels and they're not 100% bend proof either, but they are stronger. What size wheels are you running now? If larger sized, might want to step down a size.

Welcome to MBWorld! Do you know why they got bent?... i.e. pot holes, etc? Might want to invest in some wheels that are much stronger or have a smaller rim diameter.
