Default my junkyard find

i think they are the BBS RA mesh.
i need help to bring them back to life so tell me what i gotta do
they say 6Jx15H2, and 375ET35

cleaned out all the grease but as you can see 2 were painted on the inside





do you guys think the bends are fixable???
tell me what you think and if anyone has these show me what they can look like

I don't think it will be too costly. Totally worth it once you get the end result.

they might be 4x100 but you might need hubcentric rings. those look like the bbs wheels off a vw 16v a2 gli jetta. kids sell them all the time on vwvortex. the look nice but the lips are soft.
