Cracked alloy rim
I have a small crack in my alloy rim, 205/35-17 tires. Can this be fixed.

Re: Cracked alloy rim
Depends how bad of a crack it is.

There are repair shops that fix that sort of thing. Might be cheaper to buy a new wheel.

I've looked for a replacement just a bit but can't seem to find the one I have they are old. The crack is very fine.

Re: Cracked alloy rim
Even if it can be fixed, I doubt that the fix is permanent. I would get new rims or buy used ones that are in good condition.
