so what do you guys think? how much will it cost?

to my knowledge, you repair the damage that is done on the surface but not the structure of the rim.

you wouldn't want to go 80+ mph with that rim especially in a corner right?

Fixable, just a matter of finding where. PM Azndoc, he has a wheel repair hook up.

do you guys think the set is worth $750? they are volk gramlights 57 pro. 1 wheel has minor rash, 2 wheels have heavy rash, and the third is shown above. sizes are 18x9 18x10. no front tires and has rear tires for replacement. what would you pay for them.

i think that wheel is repairable. i do not think the set is worth 750, because believe for a little bit more money that you can find something better.

I've had worse damaged repaired on an Advan wheel that was rare enough to try and fix. Paid $170 to have a piece welded to the lip, recut, and polished. Balanced perfect afterwards.

if you are going to have it repaired this seems like your only real option.

So how low of an offset? Figured itll cost you another $300 to get it fixed, maybe a bit more if you consider in shipping it off to have it done. So the question is, is it worth $1050? Maybe you can low ball his ass some more since it is fucked up.
