Default Bent Rims

I have a 2004 F-150 Stepside. Two months ago I got big vibration in the front end and had to replace the front two rims as they were unfixable. The Ford dealer couldn't explain why they bent other than I must have hit something hard which hadn't happened. The truck had been in a rollover 14 months previously but they didn't think that was the problem. Now, I have the same vibration and bent rims again. What could be causing this to happen?

When you park, are you pulling up too fast to one of those concrete wheel stops?

Rims just don't bend on their own; somehow they are striking against something hard.

Are they bent, or just out of round?

I'm assuming the rollover bent the first set, but he replaced them after that, and now the second set are bent....at least that's how I read the post.
