Greetings, the rim of my car, hit the curb, the broken axle had grind the rim inner part too.

1. Is this rim still usable? Will it cause vibration?
2. Should I just get a set of used one for peace of mind?

Thank you for your time.

Pic 1: The inner part of the rim had been scratched and grinned by the axel / brake rotor not sure which part.


Pic 2 & 3: The lips are broke, and have some scratches on them




3. I am finding tyres replacement for 165 55 R14 for this rim, any good tyres to recommend? I just changed r18 primacy 4, love that type of tyres, but it seems this size don't have it. 3 old 165 55 r14 and 1 new is what indonesia hamonic brand.

basic rule, if no bengkok or become changed shape then is OK, otherwise best ask a technician in person so that he can inspect thorouhly

Just check if got leaking, too much bent, or further cracks. If not then still ok.

advise to change.the rim might be imbalance alrready.the lips already chipped off.

To TS, unless you sent for NDT to check for cracks its best to just replace the rims. Out of balance wheels will cause other problems to the suspension systems. Unless you confirmed drive below 40km/h every single time from now on.
