[QUOTE="SeikenFreak, post: 15314587, member: 122263"] Not sure there is much general traffic through this section but whatever. Maybe the seller is on this forum. I just picked up a set of 2000 Cobra R wheels for use on track with their own set of tires, thus I am not too concerned with appearance. All four are curb rash'd to hell on both the inner and outer lip. I'm guessing this is from the improper tire size and when you lay them flat, it rests on the lip and not the tire. Someone was probably dragging them around a concrete floor for years. Ugh. But again, I'm not really bothered by the rash. The real issue is that one of the wheels has two dents in the lip, and a second wheel has what looks like used to be a dent and then someone attempted to knock it out with a hammer and broke the lip off a bit. You can see on damaged wheel #1 where the person tried to knock the dents out with a hammer and kept smacking the wheel and gouged the finish. A real pro. We deal with a wheel repair business through the dealership I work at and had someone look a them. Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the time so one of my co-workers showed him the wheels and damage. It sounds like wheel #1 could be repaired but they said no to wheel #2 (the one with the separate lip.) [B]Is the damage here purely cosmetic? Should I be concerned? Is wheel #2 really un-repairable or would they just be afraid to fix it? It sounds like I could have the wheels cleaned up for $80 a piece.[/B] Is there something I could do maybe? Thoughts please.
