Eek..looks like it was tightened with tapered bolts instead of flat ones like nardi supplies with their wheels. Wouldn't be worth much to sell... You probably should replace it though.

I would replace the wheel because of the damage. It's unsafe.

The mounting holes have been mashed out in certain areas, the correct size bolts will be too small in diameter to secure the wheel. It's ruined as far as I'm concerned. It's a shame too, the leather is still nice on that wheel.

Could use some small little washers so the other bolts can still clamp down on the wheel.
