Ok, the bend is a deviation in total roundness ( I think you did mention that).
I think logically the bend would have to come first. If the crack developed first, then I think further damage to the wheel (no assumption about how it occurred) would further aggravate the crack rather than form a symmetrical bend at the crack.
Would seem too coincidental to have a bend at the same location as the crack, if the bend occurred subsequent to the crack.
