No, i dont live in Aussie
I live in New Zealand. RS4's were released with SOFT Alloy wheels, which bend REAL EASY. They now replace bent wheels with a harder alloy edition under warranty.
I heard there was one guy in the UK who had over 100 Soft Wheels, prior to the harder edition release.

I banged around this weekend on my 18" O.Z. SLs over very rough pavement, and none bent.
I was in Pittsburgh for the Steelers game (Ravens suck), and many of the roads to and from were under construction - several spots were milled, but the arseholes didn't ramp up the milling to the old pavement, leaving a 2-3" right angle lip to smash into at 70 mph (no signs either to warn me). Yes, this happened on more than one road. Made a horrible sound each time, but none of my wheels bent. On the way home, I jammed on the brakes in each milling zone, and slowly crept up each of the lips - I wasn't about to try my luck. 
But I'd estimate that I hit at least 3 of the high, sharp ones at speed.
