I just discovered that I had a crack on 1 of my Rota GT3. I'm planning to visit 2 rim repair shops this weekend but at the same time I'm having second thoughts of having it fixed. Is it safe to have repaired/rewelded? I'm concerned that since its a crack it might open up in the future. Anybody who had thier rims repaired? Thanks guys.

 

If welded properly, yes it is safe.

 

whats the average cost of fixing a rim? mine is just a small crack that causes the air to leak

 

It cost me fifty bucks to have the crack welded. I also had some bends taken out as well.

 

cool. and no problems after the repair?

 

Nope

 

yeah it's safe if you have a quality shop do it.

 

See what the shops say. It may be cheaper to just buy a new wheel, since GT3s are only like $100 apiece.

 

i called a local shop and they said they charge between $100-$175 per wheel. hopefully i can buy 1 piece since all i see online are prices for a set.

 

Try calling Mach III and see if they'll sell you a single piece.
