Repairable. You can roll it out or re barrel them.

^my thoughts exactly. I wouldn't even waste my time trying to get those barrels fixed. I had a similar problem with some Volks i had a while back and the barrels were just too far gone to be brought back up to par. And your wheels here look worse than mine did. Judging by the pictures shown, even if u take them to get "fixed", u will always have proper balancing issues and vibration issues as well. Any honest rim repair shop will tell u this.

I dont care who tells u they can fix those, they are lying and just tryign to take your money because once the integrity of the barrel has be sacrificed, the wheels are garbage.

Maybe IF they were multi-piece wheels, and u could remove the center face and bolt them up to new barrels, but i dont think that applies to this style of Volks.

They might be able to be fixed. They look pretty bad.

in all seriousness though, don't buy te37's for one side, that'd look ridiculous. just cut your losses and source a new set of wheels. and check them out carefully.
