he also told me the whole of sharjah ( BMW road - rim Boyz ) he supplies to them.he gets broken rims ,bent rims n redoes it. n then gives it bak to good old irani boyz... which they say is brand New..... i dont trust them a bit.

Yes Metal once it is bend it gets weak...
I think the OEM rims can withstand some poundin before it needs to be replaced...
My Hyundai had these OEM metal rims... These used to be bend in the edge due to the bad road. Sometimes I can feel it on the steering...
But during the service i get the showroom people to remove the bends. do wheel alignment and wheel balancing... But if the rims loses the shape, then there is no point tryin to fix it.
My point is, the lips tend to get bend due to the low profile tire and bad roads; which can be fixed... but anything beyond that, anything that does structural damage... U gotta change the rim....
