alright so i was driving from cali to memphis and on the way there somehow my rim cracked where the spoke meets the lip. im not sure if pictures would help but ill post some. i want to know if i can weld this back together like close the gap and maybe put some metal on the back?


cant really see it that well. but i just want to know if it can be fixed or i have to get a new rim..

I could get info a place out here that could fix this up like new, but they are in DE. Shipping could be a pain, but I can ask my father in law for info.

alright thanks. ya i just want to get them fixed or see if i can fix them on my own.

theres places that ake miracles man!

I'll see him on Monday, I'll try to remember to ask.

there is a place in Socal that fixes wheels. i've had 2 wheels fixed there. its 125 a piece but they fix everything that is wrong with the wheel for that price.

its called D & B wheel and they are in clairemont.

If you didn't hit anything substantial, and you don't know how it broke... you might want to buy better wheels. I'm not being an asshole, just realistic. Do you really want to try to fix a wheel that has to carry the weight of your car while you and whoever else are in it at highway speeds? It could deteriorate further causing you to wreck and get injured. Just something to think about...

well what i think it was is a while back i hit a curb. like a year or so and i think that just being on the wheels for 12-14 hrs a day wore down on it... but ya the rims arent the best quality.. but i dont really have a budget for new ones..

My cars on it's wheels 24 hours a day lol.

But anyhow you still got the stockers? Throw them back on.

That option in SoCal would be better. The shipping along would probably be half that.

lol rephrase that to it was at 80mph on the wheels for 12-14 hrs. but i got a replacement for now but im just lookin to fix it now cuz im not likin the one random wheel..

racer12306: im in memphis at the moment so that would probably be more... lol but im not sure what im gonna do.. i have the tire off and im lookin to see if there is anything that i can do..

but is it normal for the inner side walls to be like destroyed when taking the tire off with a machine? or was that an error of the guys i paid to do it?
