Currently using 185/60/14 tire on stock rim.
During my last balancing service, the mechanic found out that once of the rim is a bit bengkok. He said it can be fix. However, I'm not sure if the fix is reliable.
Can anyone here advice if fixing the rim is good option. Thanks

if you are on tight budget and still like the stock then i think it is a good option....
dun worry...it wont be as good as new but it will be good enough for you to use... used to do it on my stock rims before i changed it...

Thanks got mine fixed, seems reliable since balancing machine says its balanced, and my butt dyno under 160-170+ km/h tells me its balanced (no steering vibrations and so forth) so... for my case, reliable.

ive fixed my 15" wheels before... at the time using 165/50/15 tires. after fixing the car felt great.
i even transferred those same rims to my new car....still awesome
nothing wrong with getting it fixed.. wheels are stronger than u think.

I just fixed my rims at Hin Long Tire Service, Jalan Kapar, Klang.
RM40 to fix per rim. Mine's a 195/60/15 stock Persona rims.
Good job but long wait - 35 mins per rim to fix! Cos only 1 guy doing all the work...
Guy was honest and told me that certain edges will be discoloured due to welding and hammering but it was back in shape after the job was done! Now my car is longer bumpy!
Verdict - If you're okay with the rim being slightly discoloured, tight budget, why not nia?
