π³ SOMETIMES THE WORST DAMAGE IS HIDING UNDER THE TIRE.
You can look at a mounted wheel and think, "that's not too bad." Then the tire comes off β and that's when bead damage, cracks, old repairs, and corrosion finally show themselves.
That's why I never promise a wheel is repairable off one photo. Inspection matters. Some wheels can be saved. Some need to be replaced. Knowing the difference is the whole job.
