I picked up a set of Mahle wheels only to find out 4 out of the 5 are bad. Two look like they are just barely bent and the other two will become scrap aluminum. Since they wheels were cast and not forged can they be straighten? If so what are chances they can be done right? I am thinking with the cost of restoration and repair are NOT cost effective.
Has any one done this ? Thoughts ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
