I sure wish I lived close enough to buy those tires. They look great, and a lot better than what I'm running in the field every day.

Repairing rims is based on how you value your time. You can do a LOT of cutting, welding, and grinding, then Bondo the exterior pits, in ten hours (maybe five evenings, 2 hr each). I've repaired lots of rims. It helps to have a bad one to cut good secitons out of, and they are really cheap to find. Let's say you get 30 hours into an old rim and make it look good enough you want to use it. At $175 for a new rim, you're still making almost $6 per hour (those are good wages for restoring tractors). If you get done in 10 hours it's $17.50 per hour.

This does not include shipping, which can be a little painful as well.

If you don't want to do the work, good used rims will always have some defects.
