hey i noticed a crack on the inside of my 17" adr vision rim. its aluminum and i was wondering how to fix this. will i need a new rim or is there any possible way to fix it? its on the edge and its about 1-2 inches big.

 

JB weld and hope it sticks ...I'd go with a new rim personally...regardless of how well you weld it and what not...you hit a pothole and it's gonna crack again.

 

its adr, what a surprise..trash the crap and get something forged

 

does JB weld work?

 

dude if you jb weld ur rim, your the worlds biggest ricer... thats not just ugly. its down right stupid. If your rim cracks more it will cause a blow out..and you die. I guess you want to live up to your cool little jdm motto there huh. "live by the rice, die by the rice"

heres some advice, there are a few things on a car you dont *** around with...

1 brakes
2 tires
3 rims
4 suspension components

all of those parts make sure you keep going straight and are able to stop..put all the body kits and whatever on your car. but when it comes to where the rubber meets the road you dont *** around.

ak i dont get why everyone talks **** on honda tech. im askin a fuken question. jus answer it normal and without attitude. i man thats why honda-tech is here. so people can solve there problems. instead of talkin all the ricer **** all u had to do was say" no jb weld does not work good." instead of all the body kit ricer ****. and fyi i aint no ricer i jus want my rim fixed. and the crack is on the inside part so no1 can even see it.

 

i didnt call you a ricer, if you would read all the words and not just 2. I also answered your question, bonehead.
I said if you fix your rim with JB weld your fukin dumb, ugly or not. ADR makes **** rims to start with..now the structural integrity is compromised by that crack..Aluminum is very easy to crack once it gets started..if you were smart you wouldnt even be concidering it, ********. trash those rims and get something that wont kill you.

see thats what im talkin bout why u gota use those gay words like numbnut and ****. why dont u just answer the question without all the smart *** comments.

 

You can get a rim repaired, call around to differant car dealers and see who they use or your local wheel shop will have someone. The wheel proffesional can help determine if you need a new wheel or not.....Do not JB weld your rim at all. That is extremely hazardous get it welded or replace it

 

Those rims have shitty integrity if he gets it fixed it'll cost more than the rim itself and a weld on aluminum if done right will hold but they'll just bend and crack in another spot and that's if the guy knows what he's doing...

 

i just bent a konig imagine rim and its pissed me the hell off. It didnt crack just a little bend but its making my steering wheel go all shaky. I took it to this place called wheel works in my city. It is only costing 125 bucks to fix so i am happy. Im sure if you call around you will find a place in the city that will fix it. However, depending how expensive they are it might be worth it to just buy a new rim. I know im saving a few hundred so i am more than happy to let them fix mine

 

thanks. im trying Jb weld right now. ill update when im done with it.

This is a joke right? You are just baiting that angry guy?

Replace the rim, it is your only option.

 

Um...Jb weld most likely won't hold a rim...think about all the weight, pressures, forces, and whatever else acts on your rim/tire setup...If you jb that **** and it doesn't bond right you're fucked...have fun with the blowout

Shouldn't have given him the idea, even if you did say it wasn't recomended.

To the OP, just buy a replacement wheel or a new set.

 

fukin ricers..wasting preludes on them.

 

lol he asks for advice and doesnt even take it.. except for the jb weld idea..

 

a press and a TIG

 

Do not JB Weld a wheel, take the wheel to get looked at a wheel shop and if they say its safe to be fixed then take it to a reliable aluminum welder and have it fixed that way. I dont know how much you payed for your wheels it may just be cheaper to buy a new one.

 

All I have to say is long jump...short rope

 

Can I buy your motor when that wheel blows out and you crash?

Replace the rim, do NOT JB Weld it, it's not worth it.

 

haha yea let me know. i need some misc parts

 

lol im gonna go check it at some rim shop. its a real real time crack so it should be cheap to fix.

 

you could even try epoxy, or super glue, hell........ how about chewing gum? worth a shot... That h22 have a 5 speed?
