Default Are my Prodive 7 rims rapairable or scrap?

I was out in my car earlier and I gave it some off a corner in the wet, unfortunately the road was alot slippier than expected and even when I lifted off it didn't even grip in the slightest resulting in two damaged alloys.

Can anyone please tell me if the are repairable or am I best off looking for 2 new ones?

5 x 114 I think on a 2006 wrx sti. I have had a look on ebay and there are non on there at the moment. How much are they to get refurb if the are fixable?

Thank you
Billy

A decent refurb would probably hide the damage but would need decent filler etc to properly repair.

I'll buy your centre caps if you do replace them. /vulture

They're quite repairable. You need to talk to a good re-furbisher and also get him to check for any distortion.
Genuine PFF7's are quite sought after so they're worth getting repaired properly. You might even consider a colour change at the same time!

Niceone gents, what colour are they? They are an odd colour... a cross between silver and grey, can it be matched easy?

If I can find two others locally (cheap) with centres you can have them lol
