Thread: Rim Repair

I just saw this on CL

17 x 7 wheels 4 x 100

And this got me wondering is it even worth fixing? I mean i am looking for some cheap white rims but are these worthless
P.S. I have tires

The money that will be spent on fixing them you might as well put that towards buying a better set. What needs to be fixed on these? Are they out of round or curbed? Maybe they just need a good cleaning?

theres a link hes says its that small crack on the edge

That may have to be welded and groud down to make smooth again and then repainted/re-coated white.

i dont think its worth it becasue i dont think they look that great and with the money you spend on those plus what it would cost to fix them you could probly get some white wheels new from rota

is it something i could do i know someone that welds,

Yes of course. It's pretty cut and dry.

Not sure your local will charge you, I got one of my 18 set fixed for 50 bucks with a minor crack which like yours. It was professionally done. Anything beyond 60, don't bother to fix it.

i assume you are picking these up not having them shipped. for $100 id do it. and if advertised at $100 should be able to get em for 75 or 80. are they made any more if not thats a good bargaining point. "i cant buy a replacement if it cant be fixed im out..."
