Alright, i was able to salvage these from an accident i was in. What are your thoughts about having these fixed, worthwhile? waste of money?

The tires still hold pressure as well.




Notice the inner lip bends?

 

honestly, the price it will cost to fix them you're probably better off buying new rims and they arent that expensive anyways

 

Bent rims
Seriously better off to replace then to fix
Not being mean but we arent talking about big money wheels like Spoon,work,kenisis,ssr,volk or any other expensive wheels anybody cares to name...

 

Ask 1st how much itll cost you to have it repaired. Rotas are good quality rims here in the Phils its soo cheap to have rims fixed as long as the spokes are not the damaged part. Costs $4 to have 1 rim fixed.
If youre going to have it painted price per rim is roughly $14.

 

those bends are fixable... just get a quote and compare to buying new ones... but i dont think it will cost too much... GL dude

 

appreciate the response.

It may just be a rota, but I still spent money on them. Im trying to get the cheapest/best option. Unlike some of you, I dont have a lot of dispensible income, I cant just say, oh, its a bit messed up, ill get a new one. No, i have to live with it or fix it.

again, i appreciate the thought backed comments.

See how much it would cost to get fixed. If it's over $200 it's not worth it. You should just get some more rims. But if it's really not that bad to ride on then don't even worry about it.

 

the cost of the fix is about the same as a new wheel, minus the lead time and the possibility of other imperfections

 

rotas are sooooo cheap its not even funny. its like 500 or less for 16 inchers. someone is having a group buy around here on the forums. you can buy a new one for like 150 shipped.

 

i just sold a band new 16in flat black one for 80 shipped, lol

if they are soooooooo cheap, you should pick me up a couple. I wish i had the money to go out and buy new **** every time something happened.

 

i bent one thought i bent one of my rotas but i looked close to see that it cracked and could not be fixed. if they arent cracked i would say just have them fixed.
