Default Bent wheels

Have '07 Z350 manual transmission with 130K. Had the front lower arms replaced and right after I started to hear rumbling noise in wheels at 50 mph. New sets of tires, wheel alignment and balancing, all done Was informed that front rims and one rear were bent. Repaired front only but noise is persistent. Not as much as before, but noticeable on highway. Car is not my daily driving car. Before I get the rear rim fixed as well, wanted to know if it is possible that the issues which started right after shop installed front lower arms, could be the main reason.
Also anyone knows a mechanic shop expert in Z in/near Valley Stream, NY as well as a rim repair shop?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Background. I'm a Z lover. Own a 300ZX, 1990, '07 Z350 and '17 370 roadster

Wheels get bent by hitting things.

Wheels may be more likely to get bent if they hit things while your alignment is out.

Get your wheels straightened/repaired (or replace them with stronger wheels), and align the car.

Swap out the rear wheels from your 370 and see if the problem goes away.
