if u know the model number then maybe u can find a replacement wheel.....or

take the wheel to a professional to get the crack pressure tested to see if it can be properly fixed and please don't use jb weld
try http://www.fixrim.com aka wheelsamerica

they advertise here so maybe..i repeat 'maybe' u can ask for a discount on services.

 

in your opinion you think it looks fixable?

 

well...any crack can be fixed(cosmetically) but will the weld hold air and/or last for a long period of time?... i cannot truly tell you that.. that's why if you really wanna know then take it to a professional wheel shop.

 

I saw this kind of crank b4, My friend bring it to fix it. Good for few weeks, and the tire leak again and he get a new set. Anyway, your wheels are free, who care...buy one brand new from the shop..

 

well i live in Modesto, i just put sacramento , so ill problay take it this thrusday, how long do you think they take to get it fix?

 

yeah true

 

yeah..they should be able to tell u if it is worth it or not.

 

im not to familiar with what to do but if my friend needed to replace it, do i go to a Konig dealer and tell them that i need a Konig Imagine wheel, and they will order it.....or is there more to it?

 

contact jlb motorsports or a dealer near you..i think that wheel is still available. might even check ebay

 

yeah so i should porbaly go this thrusday to wheel america to see what they say if could be done good if not he have to replace, thanks for the help

your friend can go to america's tire or any other rim shop & they'll be able to order a single rim for your friend

 

yeah they dont make that wheel no more, so next option was to go to Wheels America and get it fix but my friend didnt want to go to Union City, only and hour but w/e......so guess how we got it fix, my friend ask somebody who fixes them localy, so we went to , how should i say, little mexico, dont worry im mexican, aint making fun, and somebody knew somebody that knew somebody, etc. And got it fix for $80. Levels of consenquences of things going bad.
1. messed up wheel again
2.Rim breaks into pieces
3. Lose control of car and crashing the car
4.
