Questions about how repairable this is and what should I do about it?

I will be trading a pair of beats headphones for these 4 wheels with 2 good tires and 1 bad tire and 1 in between. The head phones are $200 knew and I got them for free.

Any opinions on this?

Mainly the spot in the lower right. it looks bad but its just scratched really bad. lol.

Sorry I was looking at fat fives before this. Theres obviously arnt fat fives. lol. Si wheels

They'd need to be TIG welded, ground smooth, and re-machined or polished to look like a factory wheel. This will cost you around $80-$100 at most alloy wheel repair shops.

yo i dont know how well it would work being that i havent done it, but ive seen my peeps bondo some blades before and they turned out pretty legit.

Bondo - tape - paint - #newsexyrims

Dont know how well that bondo will hold up on a wheel tho.. if you do, make sure you scuff the **** out of it first.

.. and this is only if you want painted wheels lol..
