Yes, the large alloy rims on the Hyundai Sonata, especially those with low-profile tyres, are susceptible to damage from poor road conditions in Pakistan. Owners have reported instances of rim bending and cracking after hitting potholes o r uneven surfaces. To mitigate this risk, its advisable to drive cautiously on rough roads and consider upgrading to tyres with higher sidewalls that provide better protection for the rims.
