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.

 

That wheel is toast.

 

That thing was ran for a while with loose or poor fitting lug nuts. Junk

 

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.

 

exactly...most if not all shops would not touch that

 

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.

 

Is this repairable at all? I just got these wheels. I'd hate to have to find another set

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

 

It's just the one that looks like that. And yeah I know. They were 50 bucks for 4 so I kinda just looked real fast and grabbed them

 

even for private, as-is sales?

 

theres no fixing that rim man. It's alloy. Gonna have to search around for one now

 

It was joke. I wasn’t “calling” you out.

 

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.
