You need to change one. Alloy wheels are designed to be fancier than steel wheels. The unfortunate part is, if there's a gouge or crack, it needs replaced. Ordinary steel wheels, depending on the type of damage, can be basically hammered back into place. They're a lot more resistant to wear and tear as well. 


Thank you very much.

Would be ok if i replace all of them with steel ones? I don’t really care about appearance etc. would be the same on the road? It’s a 2016 Hyundai i10 1.2lt The size of them is 14”

Yes, you can use steel wheels as long as you get the same sized wheels. If it's only the 1 wheel you need to replace, another option is to simply get one from a salvage yard.
