I can't remember what the cap says, but I do remember that they're pretty worn out and hard to read.

is it possible to identify these wheels? I found out that there's at least 2 cracks in one of these wheels. One of which was already welded but is cracking over again. I have near new BFGs on this set of wheels so I want to keep the tires. I'm looking at possibly finding a replacement wheel for the cracked one. Any ideas of what they could be? This is the only picture I have that's showing them. I'm out of town away from the car too so it may be more difficult to help.

 

Look like these to me. Motegi is the brand. I don't see the engraving though so it could be a replica.

Last time I had a cracked wheel I gave it to a 20 year old who's dad owned a welding shop. He said someone stole it. I no longer have to worry about cheap wheels cracking.

Nevermind. Not enough spokes.

Eagle Alloy 169

 

So would you advise me to get it welded again??

 

I had 18's on skinnies on a slightly lowered Integra. I cracked 1 wheel twice and another once. In my 20's I would have had it repaired. In my 30's I would find a permanent solution like smaller wheels/thicker tires. I was told its hard to weld alloy because they don't know what mixture of metals was used. If you love the wheels/ride give it a shot. It should be fairly inexpensive if you can find someone willing to do it.

 

I wouldn't, unless you're extremely attached to them. I would lean towards replacement wheels.


Welding alloys is fine, as long as the alloy isn't extremely porous making it difficult to get a proper amount of penetration and adhesion.
