What's the correct process to fix these wheels?

Hi,
These 7r are in real bad condition.
I am wondered what's the right process to get them fixed.
Who would you recommend for this job?
Thanks
Burint

wow - those tropical rats have REALLY strong teeth

I doubt if they are worth fixing. They should probably be used for a beater or racer.

You'd have to fill the 'holes' with metal and then file, sand, re-anodize & repolish. Al Reed or Harvey W. could tell if it is even possible... but to ship to them is cost prohibitive.

I think they are Fuched.

Agreed, there are too many deep gouges and abrasions to get to look good and still have any integrity on the rim.

Serious curb chasers!

Nasty spare maybe?

Burint:

Those are rough. However, Thailand is a major center for aircraft repair and if you can find out who repairs the wheels for the airplanes there, you will be in good hands.

Hello Diverdan,
That's a good idea to be sure the wheels will get the proper repair.
I would like to invest because they are 7R. wheels.
Any good driving you have gone to lately?
There must be the good highway where you live.
Burint
