I would confirm the dealership's assertions inspecting the rims, brake pads & rotors.
One of the drawbacks of having low profile tires and wheels is there is very little sidewall on a 45 series tire to absorb road impacts. With so little sidewall you have to really be diligent in maintaing air pressure within the tire. My guess is that the dealership won't replace the bent rims under warranty as it will likely be argued that it was owner negligence or abuse.
The brake pads wearing out @ 20k. My guess is that there's a significant amount of city driving ?. There are many factors involved in brake pad wear. City stop and go driving vs freeway, how heavy footed your are etc. Rotors can also wear out prematurely if the rivets within the brake pads gouge the rotors.
Unfortunately the expense to replace two wheels and complete front brake service will be fairly expensive.
