Default Is it hard to bend rims?

Can you bend your back rims if you're running 30 Series tires? 275/30/19?

BenztechHbl, If you work for Benz Im sure you see ALOT of bent wheels. I see them all the time at work. The tech next to me had an E55 with 4 bent wheels yesterday. Those wheels are upwards of $1K a wheel.
