ive seen some nasty bends and such.. but id have to say no.

 

I dont think so, drew

 

thanks, drew

 

fixable, yes. How long will it last? not long

 

ouch. what rim is that?

 

enkei rp02

im gonna try one more wheel shop around town, and if they say no, just go get the ole girl welded i guess.

temp rims till my others get here, but id still like to roll on them.

 

its fixable but its going to be week at that spot on the wheel in the future and may break there again. unless you do some welding and grinding to make it smooth (but welding would make those thin spokes warp) no filler is going to be strong enough to fix that.

 

i just checked the price on those, you`re better off buying a whole new rim.

 

yikes! I don't know about that one

i was thinking of welding it. Even though its on the inside of the rim, the spokes will still warp?

I shouldve been more clear. the spokes probably wont warp but the lip/barrel would probably warp. you may not see it but the metal would get hot enough and would probably warp a little bit. thats if you can find a good welder to work on the cast wheel to begin with.

 

i wouldn't want to put it back on my car after fixing that. its better to get new rims than risk something happening to you/your car while out for a drive.
