Wheel Repair

What do you guys think it would cost to fix this wheel. I picked these up dirt cheap and this is really the only issue with them.
Thanks

Are you talking about that little bit of "curb rash"?

Get yourself some wet or dry sandpaper and a sanding block. Start with 400 grit, maybe, then 600, then 800. After that, use a Mothers 'power ball' and either Mothers or Blue Magic polish to finish it off.

On the first pic there is a dent on the far right. It is slightly out of round.

I was hoping around a 100 bucks. Thanks for the info. I wonder what the name of these wheels. I'm curious what they are worth all cleaned up.

I noticed it, but it's not that big a deal. It can happen when mounting the tires. Get a wire brush, because they have long, strong handles, and put the long end of the handle against the "dent". Then hit the other end of the brush with a hammer.....the dent will move out.

Here's my local wheel repair company:

They've got a lot of interesting info on their site about the repair process as well as a price list...
