Get all 4 wheels finish-balanced (on-wheel balancing). Many shops in KL don't seem to have the on-wheel balancers, which is REALLY bad Did it in my hometown (Malacca) Make sure the shop you go into has an on-wheel balancer, or they would usually con you by jacking the front of your car, putting it into gear and running the wheels with their hand on the fender/lower-arm/etc. A finish-balancer would look something like this...

As long as you don't decide to drive on your bare rims ( ), I don't think so Depends on how much damage you accumulate over time though. If you're fond of running through massive pot-holes, your rims will 'tell' you it's time to retire them

I'd recommend getting another set from the guy. Repairs usually mean reshaping the rim back to it's original shape and you might loose a bit of durability.

I'll try to discuss with them and see how.. usually the rims durability should able to last for century right? by reshaping as you mentioned does affect a lot? That's a bit of a grey-area. Theoretically, it should make almost no difference but the fact you rims have been whacked back to shape might effect the lifespan a little. A century would be still possible, discounting driving style and accidents

That's though, especially if the touch-up work is very good. Unless you have the specs of the original rim & walk around with a caliper, you might have trouble spotting them off the shelf. Reshaped rims usually have some metal skimmed off so the dimensions will vary slightly. Other than that, you'll have to scrutinize it for tell-tale signs of rework.
