    Fix or replace them?

    As the the title says, I need help determining whether to replace or repair 1-4 of my rims. I've seen several sets of rims as well as several rim repair places advertised. Any input on the above would be great. Please see the below pictures...

    Replace front DS and repair the others, but replacing the one and repairing all the others may equal the same amount it would cost to replace all. I have seen full sets on here for as low as 500

    First STOP 4 wheeling with your MM.

    Second new from the dealer is like 1400 per wheel

    If you decide to fix them I would like to see the results so post up repaired pics

    It sounds like we are all in the same place on this one.

    I'd like to repair 3 of them and replace the one. In the mean time, the spare can go on the front to get the car moved around.
