wheel hop and bent wheels

Hey everyone for a few months I have been getting a lot of wheel-hop in my golf R and I was suspecting a haldex issue. The dealership told me that 3 out of the 4 wheels may be bent. I was wondering if that make sense, because I do not have any vibration at all, at any speed. I just have the wheel-hop under acceleration. I can imagine that with these low profile tires that I may have issues with the wheels but the wheel hop?? Anyone have any input? Thanks

I had two bent wheels in my previous car and i was able to feel the vibrations. Wheel balancing will show if there is any issues with the wheels. Try getting an opinion from a different dealer.
