Cracked oem rim??

My front left rim on my 5th gen prelude has a fatty crack that I never noticed (i wonder how long it's been there..) The crack is about an inch long. Can i get this fixed, or should I just get a new one?

I'm not sure if there is a way to fix it but i still wouldnt feel comfterable riding around on a "fixed" cracked rim if you get my drift.

I opt for getting a new one.

Im guessing if you drive on it more, the crack will end up getting bigger...get a new oem rim, they're not that expensive.

It can more than likely be fixed and just cause it has been repaired doesnt mean it is weak now but it will run you about 100 bucks so i would see if i could find a stock wheel. good luck tho
