I am curious if they can be repaired. I'm half ass tempted to buy them. Never seen these wheels in 17"...or never paid attention to them. I get it too...they are a hot look on the right car.

Either way, both are repairable. __________________ 1995 318ti Base - Cosmosschwarz/Sandgrau R.I.P. 1997 318ti Active - Alpinweiß III/Sandgrau 2013 328i Coupe - Le Mans Blau | | | 10-10-2013, 04:15 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: CT Posts: 6 | Thanks guys. The two wheels with bent lips are repairable, a local shop here quoted about $75 each to make them perfect again with a hydraulic machine. It wasn't worth the expense for me so I bought another set of wheels. From what I've seen good 17'' steel bmw rims sell for around $80 each on eBay. I'll take $100 for the set of 4 picked up for a local. | | | 10-10-2013, 04:20 AM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2013 Location: Houston Texas.
