holy f**k.... someone on here sells just lips for work wheels. I want to say his name on here is don hanley (sp?)... that would probably be your best bet.

VSKF aren't true 3 piece that u can just buy new lips....

and HONESTLY OP, i've seen similarly messed up wheels FIXED by companies in california..... question is....is it worth your time to pay for shipping both ways....and a service, when i THINK you could certainly re order the 18" VSKF. 17"...i dunno.

pretty thrashed. what did u do?

Hey there are two shope here (Toronto) that I've fixed 3 piece wheels at and have buddies go to.
They're a little pricey but did excellent work. One is a machine shop that specialises in precision rim repair.
Pm me if interested.

* sidebar I know of a set of 18X9,10 VSKFs for sale here too in VGC.

I would think it could be fixed. I am lucky to have a great local wheel repair shop. I have used their services to remove 14 beds in 1 wheel (don't ask...)

Anyway, they have some before and after pics on their website that shows what is fixable, and I think some of them are worse than yours.

I didn't do anything other than selling them to a friend and he ended up in a curb at 100km/h in a highway exit..

He brought me them back to see If I could get them fixed

17" vs-kf are no more available so, that's a problem

ive seen wheels worse than that be fixed, youd have to get them re finished though to get rid of the heat marks and possible machining involved.

pretty thrashed. what did u do?

crashed coming off the bank at Evergreen.
i was in the pits when they wheeled that in, and over at marcus's checking it out when you dropped it off.

i remember seeing and feeling bad for thoes wheels :(

hopefully you can get it fixed.

Yup, those can be salvaged. I dunno about Canada, but you have some good choices to go with here in SoCal, it all depends if you wanna shell out the money to get 'em fixed.
