is there hope for these?

I have no bias to either brands, however If an 18" OEM wheel could crack, than any after market wheel could do as well.
BTW ROTA in Spanish means "broken, trash, garbage" and last time I checked they didn't make any wheels bigger than 9" width.
As for bent VOLKs, replacement barrels would probably cost at least 50% of the wheel price, so $250 easy, you got 2 wheels that makes it at least $500 for replacement barrels + install labor + wasted time.

why don't you just buy another two of those new rims... after all it's a VOLKS WHEEL and it's way worth it... any other wheels if it's not VOLKS, are just so cheap and no class!

There is a guy about an hour away from here who fixes these kinds of wheels for cheap. Back in my Mustang days I had a set of 2001 GT wheels that where bent pretty bad from a pothole (almost like the ones pictured), had them back a couple of days later looking like new. Paid about $150 for the job.

has anyone successfully sourced a single replacement mounting bolt from rays? (as they can break when reassembling) I'm thinking a replacement barrel is next to impossible. For the prices they ask, they should offer parts, but I'd be shocked if a barrel could be found.
