Can these wheels be salvaged? *WARNING* Not for the faint of heart!

You might've just redeemed yourself..
One recommendation though.. I wouldn't place the wheels on the ground like that. I would hate to scratch up freshly powdercoated wheels on concrete whether if it's the back or not.
How much did you pay again to get the wheels fixed?

I know. They're safely stored now. I just set them down gently to snap the picture when I picked them up. I was quoted $600 total for the repair/refinish. I'm pretty satisfied.
I'm unsure of what color stickers would look good on them though.

I know! That's exactly why I tackled this project. In the end I can always double my money if I chose to sell them. I only payed $400 for the wheels so I'm about $1000 into them.

Looks like a mercury/formula silver type finish to me... classy.

They are all finished! But my weekend was so hectic, I didn't have a chance to grab them on Saturday & they were closed on Sunday.
I get off of work early tomorrow so hopefully they'll be in my posession & I can snap some pics.
Ordering my coils this weekend! Still a bit undecisive, but leaning towards BC Racing. Their option of custom spring rates at no extra cost is what's appealing to me.. because I have about ~200lbs of music equipment in my trunk and I don't think the 5k/6k springs all other coils offer will cut it.

Oh I will definitely be dropped. I'm ordering my coilovers this weekend, just don't know what I'm going with yet. Lol
Wheels won't be going on until my coils are on and the snow dissapears!
Also getting an aero rear bumper in the mail pretty soon.
