I'd pass on those. The wheel with the worst damage is missing a lot of metal. Even if they can fix that one it may not be perfect. Even the other wheels wont look as good after being refinished. It's like repairing a wrecked car. It can be done but usually doesn't look as good as before. Just don't expect repaired wheels to look as good as undamaged wheels.

I'd hold out and pay a little more for a perfect set. You wou't have to pay for a repair and you'll know exactly what you're getting. With those you wont know what you have till after you have them repaired. If you're not happy with them then what?

yeah it look like it went though hell and came back. I think i would spend more fixing them then i pay for the rims & tires. Even if i didnt like the way they look or something i wouldnt even get my money back so i think im going to pass on these.
