Does it definately need replaced?

At my old work, we had to sell one of our VW minibuses off at the end of its stay of duty towards the end of last year. I remember the office manager got the wheels refurbed at some little garage not far from Exeter - something like £40 a corner and they came back immaculate. Previously they were TRASHED!

I duno if this helps, maybe not!

It's buckled apparently, not repairable I'm afraid.
