Default Turbine wheel damage

Just bought some turbine wheels for the Jeep and when I got to cleaning them up I noticed this on one wheel

Too far gone?

From what I can see, it appears that all of the holes are ovalized like that. I certainly wouldn't run the wheel like that if that's the case. You can even see where the lug threads have cut into the circumference of the hole.

From a commercial liability insurance out the door shop situation this would be a no go... Not worth the 10 bucks to mount it and be liable for it.

You do realize we look at this stuff differently right? In no way do I need my policy to increase the next time it is up for renewal. I was called out by a spicy guy because I mentioned the safety factor with a vehicle lifted and big tires if it had a blow out at 80 miles an hour. Until you pay what they want to cover this crap you would never understand. I make them sign waivers that the system has been changed from OEM. I HAVE NO CHOICE! I could lose everything I own over it.

Do they all look like that?

If so, then yes. If not, just replace the one. PITA? You bet. But you drove away with them BEFORE looking them over completely. Hate to say it but it's on you, buddy. CAVEAT EMPTOR

All true... But due to the fact it is a safety issue there could be some recourse. It should not have been exchanged if unsafe. Here in Az by law... You have 15 days to legally ask for your money back no matter the source. And legally they have to return it. It kind of makes everyone a little more honest that way. lol

lol... I know, but starting a master race is heavy ideology and it did put me on the defensive though. Last thing I would ever do is impose ideology on someone else and I take personal pride in this. There is far too much of that going on already.
