So what should I do with this rim???

Its just sitting here collecting dust and taking up room. I hit a curb and you can see what I did in the pics. I don't think its bent but I don't know if it can be fixed or not. It started to leak air where the gash is so I got a new one. The finish is also flaked up on those 2 spots on the left. I would think you could get that gash filled and then get the rim dipped maybe in chrome if you are wanting to have some chrome 03 rims.

What do yall think??

Haha yeah I thought about making it into something but I dont want that in my house hahaha. I could melt it down maybe and get some $$$ for it that way.

Short version I went through an s curv to fast with bald rear tires (I had just did the final rotation and was looking for new ones) and slid sideways over a nutral ground. It sucked and did about 2k in damage

How about a hose reel? That way you could keep it outside. Just think, a $500 hose reel.

see, a deep dish wheel would have no support and prolly would have cracked or really bent out of shape. that's why full fave wheels are so common with OEM manufacturers
