Hey guys recently picked up a set of 05's roughly 16x8 +24 & 16x8.5 +35.
And by roughly I also mean they are in terrible condition.
One of the 8" has a good buckle in it so that will have to be replaced the others may also have to be replaced but I will wait for an experts opinion.
That's where your experience comes in! As I have never owned a "proper" set of wheels before I don't know of any good companies that sell replacement lips and barrels, or of any shops that do lip repairs ( filling gouges with weld , machining down, strengthening and all that none sense)
So any help would be great, this will be a long term rebuild as I will only be spending money on it when there is nothing else to spend money on.. But I will be stripping the wheels down soon so I can put progress, or maybe I should say un-progress pictures of that up for those who are interested.
I should also mention that I am in Brisbane Australia.
Thanks for the the info in advance
Here is how they sit at the moment, well the tyres have being removed but you'll get the idea..
