Sucks about the wheel, but trust me - this can easily be repaired to better than new in a day (just like everyone said it can

)

Good news: you have a chance to yell at the seller

thanks guys, I bought them from a guy that was selling them on ebay,they where take offs, but the auction end and a couple of weeks later I ask him about those wheels.. the thing is that man he was sent 2 of them just like that wheel and box, no protection at all or something to prevent them from moving...

Carlos, there's a handful of places in the DFW metroplex who can fix those wheels.

The key is to double box the wheels.
The first box should have the cardboard pads across the top and bottom. Each box fits one wheel.
Then, the second box should fit two smaller boxes.
This is the only way to go.

I remember when a well known bmw wheel reseller sent me damaged OEM 166s.
I was really angry, and I remember venting here about 2.5 years ago.
They fixed the problem.
