Default Fixing cracked rim

Im not sure if this is the right forum, but anyways. Yesterday i caught a really good deal on 4 17in buddy clubs with yokos. I got everything for $240. Here is the downside, two rims are cracked, one is severe and prolly needs replacement and 1 has a very minor crack, but a crack is a crack. Im just wondering if its possible and safe to repair them.

Rim 1: severe crack


Is it even possible to fix this rim, and will it hold out on the road?

Rim 2: minor crack


Fixable?


Buddy Club p1 SF in gunmetal!

I'll prolly just end up buying 2 new rims, but everyone is on backorder til the end of the month. So far ive seen the cheapest prices at passwordjdm. Buddyclub is out of stock as well. But overall the tires are still meaty, no camber wear, two mint rims, 1 crap and 1 potential.

Please reply if you have any helpful info

Default Re: Fixing cracked rim (Komptech)

the second one is definately fixable ive seen rims worse than that be fixed and still be fine..... the first one though is questionable but i would say totally possible if someone really knew what they where doing and had a machine that could spin it and straighten it back up when done

and remember to factor in fixing cost + powder coating cost cus they will have to be sanded and re-powdered after fixing so it may just be better to find 2 good ones
