Default Is This Rim Repairable?

Hi All,

I may have the opportunity to get a worn set of S1 Tickford 17 rims. For those of you who know me well, these are the rims I've been wanting for a long, long time. I've just never had the money or proper opportunity; perhaps until now.

A work collegue has a set, but two rims have a bit of a buckle in them. Also the clear coat is worn on each rim. Below are the pictures of the worst rim (buckle wise). Clear coat issue is about the same on all 4. There are no tyres on offer.

My questions for those in the know.
1. Is it repairable? I expect so but have no prior experience in such matters.
2. How much for the buckle to be taken out if it is repairable?
3. How much for the repolishing and clear coat of these rims?
4. How much for 17 inch rubber? Who recommends what?
5. How much do you think they are worth in this condition?

Please peruse the pics below and offer up your advice.











Cheers,

GK
