Depending on the damage, it may be just as cheap to have them fixed. Post pics of the damaged ones.

Limited edition rims but not much tire selection on 14". yeah, those rims are nice. I used them (2 sets out of the 5,000 limited) for storing cars.

it may take you a while to find someone willing to sell just 2.
you might have to buy a full set or a set of something different.

take that rim to another wheel shop, its totally repairable.
i know a guy that may have one for sale.

maybe that makes it clearer i need atleast one if not two or a whole set. i threw it away because it was so bent it cracked and had been repaired before.

The one you posted the pic of is easily repairable. In it's present condition it may leak, fixed it won't.
