Damaged A-spec wheel

They are genuine a-specs not knock offs. They have the enkei stamp on the back. A little rough though. Seller wants $600. How much would i be looking at to fix them?

That's a ripoff. $600 for wheels that were clearly in a high speed collision? No thanks. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for them. Show the pics to a wheel repair shop and see what they have to say. Seeing as the wheels look bent, I assume not cheap. Honestly, I'd be a little concerned using those... They went through some serious shit.
There's a user selling his legit A-Specs for $900 on here and they are in 1000x better shape than these. I'd say that's a better option.

I would rather spend $1000 on a new set, this isn't worth it.

Not sure what the OP is looking for but even $1000 can't get you these A-Specs new as they are discontinued. These are the 8.5" Gunmetal color A-Specs only available in 2004.

Got mine powdercoated for around 300 for the set.

I refinished all mine myself, cost me about $100 in supplies and some time.
I would just recommend taking them to a tire shop befor you get the m and have them checked to make sure they are not bent befor you purchase them and spend the time and or money on them.
All of mine where at least that bad and I am 100% happy with the way mine turned out.

Talk to CLtotheTL32. He's selling his 8.5s.
Maybe the wheels weren't in a crash- some of them looked bent to me but maybe it's just the angle the photos were taken at. I dunno.

Yeah, those wheels are fucked. I would love to help, but a local forum member picked up my A-Specs last night.
