uhhhh i dont kno for sure. they are Tenzo Mean 6's. so whatever it is made out of. the steel lip of the rim is messed up pretty bad.. i was thinking of grinding them down, but then i was thinking that that would compromise the strength of the wheel.....

Yes. There are good wheel repair shops all over the country that are qualified to repair curbed rims, and have the expertise and equipment to make sure that the wheel remains true (balanced) as well as restoring their original finish and appearance. Take it to one of them. Expect to pay $100-150 per rim.
