Theyre Volks and theyre 17's. That bend isnt that bad.
Id honestly leave the dent, put tires on them and roll.

Ive had worse dents on wheels with no problems besides looking a little bad.

I think paying 1000+ for used rims is a little much though. All my rims have been $800 and lower.
Granted they all need work but thats fine with me.

I've had worse condition rims than that didn't take much to recondition. With the last price increase on volks, $1400 is almost reasonable if it had good rubber to go with it...

Not so insane but certainly there are other good options for 17" wheels.

One would try to pay less of course but if they really wanted that exact rim then they could fix the dent.
