Default Fat Five curb rash. Help?

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?

I know this isnt exactly ef related but there going on my ef hatch.

First off they are SI wheels. Second, I would have them chemical stripped and maybe sand them up and reclear them. And to trade free headphones for them is a steal....

I don't know if you know anyone that works at a car dealership, but alot of dealerships have a "wheel man" that will come and repair scratched wheels. If you do know someone at dealership I would ask.....

not worth the headache man, find a set of wheels without rash and start with a good platform, youll never be happy with the outcome if you try and finx those wheels on a budget. TIme is money

Im not really worried about the look of the wheels as much as them being usable. And thanks for the idea hatch89.
