Messed up rims, fixable?
 

As title says I messed up my rims and was wondering if they can be restored decently (price+condition) or should I just buy new ones?

Do you guys think it'll be safe to drive with either of them like that? (I mean permanently, not just to autoshop or something)

Aluminum wheels with any kind of damage around the bead area are considered unsafe and should be replaced As soon as possible.

wow you messed those up real good lol the second one appears to be fine however the first one with a chip missing will probably result in a slow leak especially if you hit a pothole and the jagged edges stab the tire and pop it and definitely check for bends because those will result in slow leaks as well if they egged a little

Discount/America's Tire does wheel repair. $100 - 125 a rim.

I wudnt even bother getting them re-done. You can just buy them as new replicas or OEM reconditioned for about $100. I bought mine from this site, give them a call they were extremely helpful, not to mention they had the best price.

For cheap OEM wheels like that, I agree with everyone that you should just buy used ones. The cost of repair will cost as much as a replacement pair.

Or this could be your chance to upgrade. :D
