Bent six 21” Turbines this winter...

Is anyone else dealing with this? Bent my right side twice, both times were due to regular potholes, nothing crazy. Now my left two wheels are bent... did not hit any potholes. Are these wheels made of playdoh? I’ve had 9 luxury cars with huge low profile tires, hit monster NJ potholes, and never in my life have I bent a rim until I bought my Tesla.
 
The gen1 turbines i heard were notorious in getting bent because they were casted and not forged.
The arachnids had better ding protection, and i still cant find anywhere on info regarding gen 2 turbines.

I did get 2 bubbles on my tires with gen 2 turbines, both freaking out thinking i had bent them, but i ended up getting lucky twice.
Im worried the third time will get me, so i am probably going to consider really hard getting 19's after summer this year so i can enjoy my 21's one last time..
