Random thought, follow me for a second: since both front wheels are bent the same way, there are two plausible explanations: 1) someone at the tire shop who did not know what the $%@! they are doing bent them with tools they should not have been using, or 2) the PO hit something on the road at a good speed with enough lip to put a dent on both wheels - something like a high steel plate, or going from a dirt patch onto an elevated asphalt patch, or worse, hitting a low sidewalk head on! In this case the damage would not be limited to the outside of the wheels. You should also be able to see it on the inside wall as well. What I'd recommend is to inspect the inside of the wheels (maximum turns to the right and left) to see if there is any damage. If you find damage, you kind of know what happened, and Mike would be right. I'd take it to the dealer and have them inspect further damage to the front axle including suspension, steering column, rods, etc.
