Apex wheels (best imo) - Buy at Zima Motorsports
Most other wheel brands - Buy at WSTO

WSTO seems to be closed, at least all their websites are out of date or down since early last year. Anyone did business with them recently?

If you want that won't bend anything find forged wheels. Best ones IMO are OEM wheels or iforged. I only buy oem wheels or high name brand I don't even buy apex. I buy BBS RC 303 which is the real version. Lightweight and made by BBS which is a reputable brand.

While BBS wheels are definitely high quality, most of their wheels (CH, CH-R, etc.) are actually low pressure cast. Most OEM BMW wheels are also made by BBS through low pressure casting. They are decently strong, but still bend if you hit a major pothole. Instead of just looking at the brand name, you are better off looking at the actual construction (Forged > Flow/Rotary Formed > Low Pressure Cast > Gravity Cast). It is also important that the manufacturer can actually provide JAI and/or VIA certification. Anyway, what happened to WSTO?
