Hi guys, I am noob over this thing. Seeking some advice here. Is it good to repair a dented rim or just got it replace ? Thnaks.

replace, better don't be stingy on something that keep you in contact of the road.

unless cost is a factor for u

Picture ?

Thanks
No,pic! Only slight dent and not driving the car at the moment. Found out when doing balancing .

Hard to find a shop that fix dented rim. Easier to replace

Then the tyre seating zone is intact and safe .
Only problem balancing is out , which you had already sorted out .
Keep using it , don't waste money out of 'fear' or 'fear of unknown' .

Just keep using it as long as still can balance and no vibration.

No vibration! But inside my heart feel like something is not that right! Lol! Thanks for the feedback bro.

There are so many shop that would help. They would gather the bent rim and call the machining shop to come and collect them. Not sure what is the price now but used to cost RM50 back then.

most tyre shop provide rim dent fixing.either their shop can fix or they send to the repair factory to do it..

Thanks! I am more concerned on the road worthiness of the rims after the repaired.

Fix then sell off. Don't risk it.

Very slight bent rims is quite common especially these days when people like to show off using big diameter and thin profile tires, so no need to worry too much about it. If already difficult to balance and keep vibrating then only replace.

the workshop want to scam you into buying rims?

If can balance, just let it be, the dent is within tolerance. If not, then only you consider changing rims. In fact, no rims/tyres no matter how expensive is perfectly round.

If still scared shit, look around online find 2nd hand factory rims.
