    Do I need to straighten these wheels?

    They're 15x7 Borbet type C. I got them at a good price on craigslist. Is it safe to have tires mounted on these? Will they hold air?

    only way you'll know if they'll hold air is by mounting a tire. might be able to balance them or maybe not, only way is to try.

        Seems pretty minor. Gently use a hammer.

          Holy crap. That might be possible. Any idea how much professional straightening for something like this would be?

            Likely 50-75ish a wheel.

                  Right?

                  The last wheel i had the lip straightened on here in ATL was like $150.00. Without paint repair.
