5 bends total. Not surprised really. They are 20+ years old, & likely had very low profile tires in them at some point in time.

Or they could be a soft material. I have had that problem in the past. Are you able to get them straightened?

Easily repairable.

Those look minor enough for some heat and a mallet to put back to mostly round.  Overall not bad looking for old rims.

Aside from the bends, some paint chips & corrosion that’s the only issue with them. No curb rash, for their age they are in decent shape.

Chemical stripper?   What color are you going?

Yup, getting stripped. Then bends repaired, media blaster, then powder coating. Going with heavy metallic silver. Same as these. Low key enough to look OEM, but still has pop.

That'll look cool as hell. I was hoping they'd stay silver

I thought about a Tungsten grey or hyper silver. Traditional silver won out.

I don't blame you. They looked so good in their stock color. Why change perfection.

It’s not an exact match, but as close the guy doing can get it.
