rim repair?

[nat3d]

ok so i bought a set of rims and ill tell you right now i very rarely get screwed but i let myself be blinded by actually getting a set of rims and i may have gotten screwed. one has a deep gash in the lip. that i knew about. two others are fine (as far as i can tell without spinning them on a balance machine.) and one other one has one small bend in the lip on the inside of the rim that i didnt know about. i forgot to snap a pic. two of the "brand new" tires are shot due to a nail and a small slice almost.

my question are they worth trying to fix (i dont know the effects of repair on the integrity of the rim)? or should i try to flip them for a profit on cl or if one of you know something and want them ill cut you a deal.

Look for a wheel repair shop locally and see what they'd charge to repair the damage. They should be able to give you a free quote.

Even though it's on the other side of the state, Rim Pro in Tweksbury is one of the best wheel repair shops up here. But you get what you pay for, they can get expensive. If the cost of what you paid for the wheels plus the cost of repair exceeds the cost of what a used set in excellent condition may go for, it's not worth it IMO.

Would like to see pics. I bought some used rims and sanded them down and then repainted them. They came out looking brand new.
