Enkei YS5 wheel repair, is it practical and safe?
I bought some 15" Enkei YS5 but one needs repair. Is it safe and practical? Or a new one for $140 is better?
Not sure how much the repair would be.

it will cost more to fix than buying a brand new from Tire Rack or eBay.

I decided to buy a new one instead. Wheel shop can't fix them, too much metal is gone they said.

New wheel is about $120 plus tax so decided to buy new one. Anyway I got a good deal on these wheels (3pcs) plus almost new tires for $380. The wheels are in excellent condition no curb rash.
