The 19" wheels are manufactured in the same process that the 18" wheels are, so the strength will be the same. However, the inner lips were thickened to increase strength and better handle the abuse from low profile and stretched tires. How are you bending the wheels, what tire make, model and sizes are you using? Are you driving in areas with very harsh road conditions with lots of potholes, or are these track wheels that sees heavy use on track? We'd love to find out what is causing the bends, as bending three wheels is very alarming for us. Have you contacted us regarding this issue before? Feel free to call us at 925.245.9773 so that we can troubleshoot what may be causing this, as this issue is uncommon with proper tire sizes.
