Default Fragile wheels

Who else has discovered a bent wheel on their car? I had my tires roadforce balanced after noticing a shake that reminded me of a bent wheel, only to discover one tire was screwed up(Bridgestone Serenity Plus) and one wheel was bent. I got extremely lucky and found a used wheel for $105. $180 later I have four roadforce balanced wheels, including one new tire and one new wheel, and no shake. I think I did very well considering a roadforce balance usually runs around $100, the tire is $145, and a wheel is around $250.
Looks like this car has some soft wheels, because I have read others that had to replace bent wheels, or the previous owner just liked to bomb through potholes.
