Slightly "bengkong" or bent mags - repair or still safe to drive

**rgbarcebal** · July 16th, 2014 11:14 PM

Hi guys, I currently using 18 inch Rota P1 wheels with 225 40 tire. Recently, I hit some rough road and slightly bent all four mags. Bents are very slight and no air is escaping. They are also hardly noticeable and needs up close inspection to see. The bents are on the outer lip while the inner lip is intact and still circular.

I was wondering if I should have this repaired or maintain it as is? Will it be safe to drive? and wont I have problems in the long run? suspension? uneven tire wear?

I will be posting the pictures tomorrow.

By the way, I'm also a bit concerned as the mags get easily bent. What should I do? Should I change my tire to 225 45 series? What other options should I do to avoid this in the future.

Paikutin sa balancer para malaman kung pwede pa.

Kung malala, hindi na mababalance yung wheel.

had a similar problem before and the balancer couldnt fix the bengkong. What i did was to have it fixed by a specialist / machine shop. Dont know how safe it was... but the rims lasted for more than 5 years without problems before i sold it. Hope this helps.
