I have one mounted as a full size spare and I have one in the closet -- I have thrown out 2 of them. I won't get them refinished and always get new or used ones to replace the bent one. The refinished ones won't match the originals and you can always get a used one for about $150 to $200 or you can get a new one for $275.
This is it though...I am done buying them...Next time its a new set of 4 other rims or I sell the car. These rims are softer than most. I am crazy about keeping my pressure at 41 front 38 rear and still one pot hole can take out two of them (as it did me). I am extra careful to avoid potholes, but sometimes you can't avoid them or its dark and they aren't very visible.
At the end of the day this is the price one must pay for 17 inch sport wheels. The suprising thing is that I have not busted a tire (knock on wood). With some of my other sports cars with 17 inch rims I ruined many tires (bubbles etc.) and those will cost you $150 as well.
