im a retard!! i was unloading my rims. well one slipped out of my van as i was opening the rear. i guess it landed perfect on the edge of the curb and cracked the lip :angry: is it repairable? its not a big crack....maybe 1/4" or do any of the locals (sacramento area)know of a place i can take it too?

Why do you guys ALWAYS dispute on NUMBERS?????

It's such a played out argument, so fucking annoying....

It's 12 fuckin 15's.... It's louder than you... Shut the fuck up...

im pretty sure its repairable. you just need to find a welder and then grind it down. i had a cracked rim and it looked nasty. took it to he local welding shop and within 15 min, it was done. i felt real stupid cuz the shop i worked at was a welding shop, i just didnt want to bother them. it cost me $10 and it holds up great. i had it done in january and it gets real real cold in northern michigan and ive had no problem

currently just running a JL 12W7 and RF BD 1001

soon to come

There is a wheel repair shop in the arden area that does good work. I have used them before, welding is the only option. Don't try anything like glue or epoxy, its not worth a blow out on the fwy...

It depends on how bad it is really. Welding may not always work, and worst case scenario is you have to buy another rim. Thats what i had to do with one of mine.
