possible bent rim ?

I have a ton of balancing weights on my rim, i wonder if this is suppose to be normal, or if this looks sketchy i included some pics. i never seen this many weights on a rim before. im just wondering if there trying to cover up something (the dealer)

Did you recently have that particular wheel/tire balanced at the dealer? Is that a new tire? If it's an older tire, how is the tire wear on the tire?

Well, if that's case, I can only think of the following . . . . Either that particular wheel/tire combo is way out of balance or the tech did not bother to remove any existing balancing weights prior to balancing the said.
