New wheels, couple questions.

[nickandersonLS01]

Ok so last night I was at a party and ran into a kid I haven't talked to in YEARS, find out he lives down the street from me now AND used to have an LS. So we start talking and he says he has some 17's in his basement(I figured they were the 17's from the 03), end up going there this morning to find they are Fondmetal 9x's and he now has 18" fondmetal 9x's on his 350z. $100 for all 4, 2 have good tires and are immaculate, the other two.... HUGE POTHOLE is all his dad had to say. They are bent pretty decently, I believe they are Aluminum? Does anyone know about wheel repair and usually how much it costs? Is it worth my while to get these fixed because from what I hear they don't manufacture the 9x's anymore? Any help will be much appreciated.

Those are some nice wheels. I have no idea about fixing them.

fixrim.com has a location in Arlington Heights, IL they charge $129 per wheel and fix it like new no matter how much work it needs. I have the 19" Fondmetal 9x on my car. They do not make these in the US anymore.

it was POURING here yesterday and the rim got wet from being like 3 feet inside my garage, it was raining sideways!

Just send all 4 of em and have em fix em up so you'll have em like new. Just be careful when you put on new tires so the paind won't come off.

only 2 of them are messed up, the other 2 were BRAND new, they hit this pothole like 3 days after putting these wheels on, didn't even try to get them fixed and went out and bought 19" enkei's that he sold on the car.

the picture does no justice to the wheels, they are PERFECT, no scratches, no curb rash just the bends on the inside of the rim
