Straightening bent rims



Not really... I just don't believe in skimping or doing a job half ass... I 
could use them as is but why when I already have rims on the car (and 
another new set in boxes). If I can't afford the rebuild I'll store them 
until I can. They can keep my BBS body kit, my new dash, front and rear 
seats, carpet, and the other 1000 miscellaneous parts I have stored away 
company.

I plan on selling some of the parts soon on ebay... trying to get down to 
500 miscellaneous parts.
