Buckled wheel

Ive got the stock 16s, i got a puncture in my left front tyre, when having it repaired the mechanic notice that the balance was way off, he checked the inside of the rim and notice that around 3inches of the inside diameter is not truly circular. The installer also said their was a lot of weights to balance it out, more than their should be. Surely this is a factory fault.

My car is only 1 month old and i haven't done anything to cause this buckle.

what are my options guys,

* is this something that will be covered under warranty ( as i didnt do it ) if so is there anyway i could prove it was a factory fault.

*am i safe just leaving it ( the installer balanced it with weights like it was originally like)

*ditch the stock wheels n go for new ones
