won't hurt the suspension, but will cause irregular tire wear over time. also can be a neusence because you'll tend to feel the vibration generally in your steering wheel.

yep, it would be like driving on regular streets with tire chains/cables on all the time. one is bad enough, but 3?? have fun also, depending on how bent they are, they will probably lose air pressure faster than normal, so be cautious of that.

I say go ahead and start saving for some forged wheels, that way you don't really have to worry about bending a rim for quite some time!

yeah, i would start saving also. first of all your going to get a hop in all the bent wheels, and at the bent area the side tends to budge out alittle more, and that may cause increased sidewall stress. but as for the suspenion, no damage to say, but you feel the wheels.
