Straightening bent rims

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Raffi)]

As they are now... well they're in transit right now.

BBS RS with silver centers rebuilt by Kodiak to 16" with 5" inner barrel 
and 1.5" and 1" outer lips. Probably go 7" up front and 7.5" in back just 
because.

Gonna have the center webs & inner barrels stripped and repainted, polish 
the lips and re-plate the screws... the rims are currently et 35 but I 
might have that machined to et 38 at the same time even though 35mm will 
work, again just because.
