The Lambo story is interesting as I suspect those were real forged wheels and not "rotary forged" cast wheels like my OZs.

I put the OZ wheels on my new 2020 M240i with < 10 miles on the odometer. Noticed the small bend somewhere around 300 miles. I am the only driver and don't remember hitting anything (e.g., pothole, rumble strip). Since I was still in the break in phase, I was driving very conservatively.
