Fixable or trash

I have a set of c5 z06 wheels, bought 3 and got the 4th free because of damage. It is missing part of the lip because the guy slid on ice causing him to curb it and break it off. Is there any way of fixing it or would it be in my best interest to buy a new one

How would you even think about fixing it? The only thing I could think of would be a TIG welder and even then it would probably be expensive to have someone fix it. JB Weld would work like a ******* champ though...

I think it would cost more to fix then it would cost to buy a new wheel.

You may want to check out Wheels America, have used their services, did a very good job. They can fix lip damage, for about $130.

Negative. I wouldnt fix it. It will never be the same and will throw off the balance of the wheel. Also you will need the part that is broken off to even have a chance. It would be cheaper and wiser to just buy a new one.
