Cracked Bent and Destroyed Wheels 19" Giovanna
So I currently have one cracked Giovanna Gspec 19" wheel and another that is severly bent. The shop I have the wheels at is very trustworthy.
To repair/referbish it will cost me 180 for cracked and 200 for the bent. At that much I might as well just buy new wheels.
Any thoughts or wheels to suggest?

That's why I don't get why you would not get them fixed. For $360 you fix your bent/broken ones and
you have four good rims - right? If you go buy a full set of rims for $360, they will either weigh a ton, look like @ss, or both - right?
That is assuming, of course, that the original rims you have (I don't know them, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt) didn't cost $90 a piece, are heavy as hell, and look like @ss... In that case, get a new set!

I agree with you that it would be cheaper but the scenario/set up would be real shady...
It would mean that I would be running on two aluminum welded wheels and one referbished. I had one wheel welded/referbished previously. I quesstion the real integrity of a wheel that has allready been broken and welded.
I also found out that I need two new tires so at this point I think I am going to pony up and go with new wheels and two new tires.
