meh.. on that one its not worth it and not safe anyways and for the other 3 they don;t look so bad so they could be reusable. Chek the tire on the junk one, if its still good you could re-use it

Don't take Canadian advice. If you really like those wheels and are willing to pay, they are probably fixable. My friend had a 19inch, Audi wheel in worse condition repaired via an online site.

whats wrong with canadian advice? if he can find the same wheel he might as well just replace it and repairs for wheels MUST be costly

Ok Canadian, you have a point. Although the wheel is repairable, for 75-150+ USD a wheel, it probably ain't worth it.

Exel is one of the cheaper brands.

yes you could but it probably would never come as well balanced as a new one and would cost more that what its worth to repair (ask shinhed).

the tire on the badly damaged one is prolly no good, too hard of an impact, the inside of the sidewall is prolly screwed, but the other 3 look good...good deal for free...

Take the ugly rim to a shop that fixes rims and see if they can bring it back from the grave

Yeah, that's not that bad of a fix. Not EASILY repairable, but it's not something a good shop will have to think twice about before saying they can take care of it.
