This probably isnt the right place to post this but fuck it. I got 2 stich rims(What i was told) that need repair as one of the previous owners made love to a curb in their car. I have been asking around to see if there is any places in washington that can/will repair the rims. I tried cascade wheels and they told me that the lip is rolled and there are a shit ton of stress marks all over the part of the lip that bent (You can clearly see them too in person) I am wondering if there are any places that sell barrels for these fuckers OR if there is a shop anywhere in the us that will be able to repair these. Any suggestions is helpful.

Heres on of the rims, its hard to tell about the lip but the fucker is bent, Ill try and get a picture of the lips and how fucked they are.

That wheel is fucked. Just get a new barrel. unless the inner rim has been egged (bent into and oval shape), in which case you just wasted your money.

Actually i havent boughten them yet, my friend wanted me to see if they got repaired before i bought them.

Good. Because youll probably end up spending more on fixing them, than you would buying those wheels, and then a different set of wheels, when you realized those cant be fixed.

your gonna end up spending a bundle.. just find a different set.

its like buying parts for a car you dont have. its a huge risk

don't buy it unless you can source all the parts together and see if the outcome is feasible.
imho, dont go for it. that shit is fucked up, your better off waiting it out. thats what im doing

I know a place in the Bay Area that does an excellent job. Been at it for over 20+ years and has seen everything. All the local Autobody's and whatnot take their worst case scenario to him. You might want to email him that picture and see if there is anything he can do for you. Ask for Jose

His website is Rite-Way Wire and Wheel Specialists - Homepage
They are mostly word of mouth, so dont take much from the shoddy website. You can search any automotive forum or just google/yelp rite-way wheel and you will see glowing reviews.

In any case if your searching for barrels.Kodiak Racing Wheels - Custom lightweight race wheels for performance and racing makes em
