I got a slight crack inside my rim about a 1/2 inch long and its causing my tires to leak air. Is this fixable and if so where should i take it to get it fixed? Thanks in advance people.

 

The answer is Maybe, depend on the condition but most of the time can fit any sh_t for a premium charge.
Take it to a wheels shop that have those machine for rims...is it oem or aftermarket?
they charge different and depend on the construction of the rims(3 pieces..2...)

 

Dependingon the rims you could always do it hick style and JB weld it, it worked for my old wheels!

 

its an aftermarket rim. Axis rims (dont know what kind of axis though). Thanks for the info.

 

where is the crack tho? if it crack near the stroke-->pain in the ***
crack on the inside where the tires are wrap->easy fix
give us a pic if you can.

 

I got my alignment at local tires/wheels shop, i actually saw they repairing a rim.
it's 3 piece kind..some how they can take it apart and put it back together with some yellow stuff(?)..they gonna paint it later as far as i know.

 

the crack isnt visible because the tire overlaps it (hard to explain). its right at the spot where the tire touches the rim on the front right next to the edge. Im going to try and bring it wheel works next weekend to see if they can get it fixed. Any estimate on how much it might come out to?

 

If you are in the Bay Area go to Wheel Techniques in Cambell. They custom painted my Lenso rims, but they specialize in repairing bent/broken rims. They have fixed at least a dozen of my friend's rims.

Potholes

 

Is cambell far from sf? Do you remember how much it cost? Thanks for the info.

 

My shop has fixed many fractured/cracked wheels. Mostly Porshe. Simple weld, then sand, and liquid rubber to perfect the seal. Of course you have to dismount the tire...

 

Between $75-150 depending on how bad the rims were damaged. Wheel Techniques is about 1hr from San Francisco.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

It cost about 50bucks at my local wheels repair shop,
maybe the design is simple that's why so cheap.

 

do you know the name of that wheel shop?

 

If you near SO cal go grab an "autoWorld" at SamWOo's
they always have an Ad ..used wheels..repairs
they have a ugly old *** AV gal in the ad too.
