I like the experienced skill and 'tools of the trade' of this Philippines shop.

The steel spoke rim up top looks way too badly bent to waste time on;how much tension could be safely applied to the spokes after that repair?
 
The mag wheel repair., I would trust running it after that workman's repair.
I think it would be interesting to somehow x-ray that formerly bent section to see what you mean..

I've seen bent alloy rims;most of the time a sharp bend like that will occur because someone hits a curb+ they don't check their tire pressure every day/week..

At least he heated up the section and checked the temperature before working and he reheated it and checked the temperature every time he was going to move the metal.
I was expecting him to just bend it back.

I would chuck it too.

Be interesting if he could straighten mine out. The brake rotor kept mine from collapsing more, this is from the cb400f I wrecked last July during the lawn mower incident. New rim came in today, just waiting on the spoke set.
