Cheap rims-Needs some work

Well here's the deal. I have a set of Enkei shoguns 17x7 with 215/40/17 I bought them recently paid to much (basically got screwed) and rims are a little messed up. Cosmetically there in pretty good shape. The tires are Yokohama Avid H4's. With a good 60% maybe 65% rubber left. One tire has a small bubble in the sidewall. One of the rims has a bend in the inner lip and another needs to be trued. So I think your dealing with 2 not so good rims. There is a vibration at about 100kmh. I did some research on fixing aluminum wheels and found www.wheelfix.com- look at the website and you'll understand how good these guys are and they pick your wheels up for you. I've spoke to them twice and to fix all the wheels to perfection your looking at $350 to $400 bucks. These guys are amazing. I'm asking $500 bucks for everything-firm. So for $850 to $900 bucks you get essentially perfect rims and rubber. The rubber alone in the shape it's in is worth $250-$300. If your just looking for some rubber let me know. Why am I not doing this? This has become a situation I would rather put behind me and cut my loses. If they don't sell i will do this myself. If your on a budget this is a good chance to get some rims on your car. If you'd like pics PM me. Or post your e-mail in your post.

I didn't do this it was the guy who had them before. Just so you guys know I've made these sound worse than they probably are it's not like the rims are mangled. I just don't want to be anything but honest. Visually I guarantee you can not tell there messed up, only when you put them on a balancer you realize there messed. Two of them may only need fixing. Anyways I got screwed and it's an opportunity for someone.
