One of the spokes cracked on my regamasters, is there any chance of fixing it?

Sorry about the picture sizes

 

from what i've heard, shops are not supposed to do repairs to the spoke

 

anything can be "fixed" but will it stay "fixed"?...doubt it.

if i were you i would either sell the good wheels one by one or start looking for a single rega.

good luck..

 

Damn, this is depressing

 

LOL i thought only rotas crack

 

Meh, I still believe these will take much more abuse than rotas before they give away, in this case I really don't know what happened, I get off the highway and start hearing a squeaking sound, only to find the cracked spoke.

 

if you hit a pothole or anything that was on the road, your city/town should pay for it. idk how things like that work up in canada tho

 

Thats the funny thing, I didn't hit anything major, I only started to hear the sound after getting off the highway.

 

u can try and weld the inside

 

it can be welded but it will crack again

 

I agree it can be welded but the way those wheels are made it will crack again near the weld.It isnt gauranteed to crack again though you could get lucky and it will work out fine.

 

Hopefully I can find a shop that will do that, because a couple of shops said they can't fix it.

 

i asked my friend he use to work fixing wheels etc he told me that its something most shops wont touch because its very dangerous and wont for liability issues.

 

I would not even worry about fixing it,and get about ordering a replacement wheel. I had the same thing happened to me with my blitz wheels just so you know.

 

Thats going to be an expensive crack.G/L

 

Where abouts can I order a replacement wheel?

 

damn thats gotta be a defect or sumthing check ebay jdmland and other sites know for having these wheels for a single 1 good luck tho its gunna take a while

 

ask username:

spids5. he may have a lead or 2.

 

i agree most shops wont fix that for liability reasons, but i am sure you can grind it down a bit and weld it if you really want to. I dont recommend it

 

id weld it up until you can get a replacement
