Due to the amount of force required to compress a wheel I would not suspect the alignment company, but rather a defective stud, lug nut, or wheel.
If it is the wheel there will be multiple indications once you remove the wheel from the truck.
As you can see the wheel mounting surface of the rim is quite thick.
As shown in your picture the mounting surface is thick, where the studs in question are the chamfer is now much deeper than the rest. I checked the lugs and they are all the same,the studs are fine, but on a second look I can see a piece of aluminum in one of the holes. I also made sure that the wheel was tight against the hub. I am fairly certain that the cause was from a lug gun. This is not the first time I have had problems with a wheel company putting the lugs on with a gun only and over tightening them. But it is the first time I have see this. I would take a picture but to add insult to injury my camera won't work.
