First Flat Tire....

They make a hammer made of I think an aluminum/gold mix. You can beat your rim back down and it will not scratch it. The hammer is so soft it bends the hammer without marking your rims. Try to find one of those at a auto/rim shop...

The bend is out, there is a crack in the rim though. And they said there is nothing they can do...

Do you think anyone would buy the set on eBay, knowing one if bad?

I had a crack on my old stock rims on my infinity. I used some JB weld to patch it up, and applied some silicone in-between the seal of the rim and tire before putting the tire on. Worked like a champ. And is still sealed up after 3 months...

Anyone know of places that would take these as scraps or something? To melt down and reuse?... Any chance they would sell on eBay for like $500?

Really, if I were to do that, would I get away with it?...

No but there should be for $3,200 rims.

A ton of people in my graduating class had rims that were well over $3000+...

Are the rims aluminum you said? if they are it will probably be tough finding someone to fix them. A friend of mine knows a guy that well weld on regular rims, and make them just as good as new. But when I thought I had cracked one of my alumium alloy's he said he wouldn't do it.

Anyone know if like a welding store or a place that buys scrap metal would give me a nice chunk of change for these? It is about 250lb combined weight of aluminum...
