Default Rim Fixable?

I just picked up a set of Ap2 rims for cheap, with one front wheel cracked.

Is this fixable? Will it be safe?




BTW: Anyone selling a front rim?

Call Wheel Collision Center in PA. The work they do is absolutely amazing. They can probably help you out on whether the wheel is repairable. I have sent them some pretty bad stuff and it comes back like new.

if it is cracked on the face THEN it will depend on extent of damagae.
I know Daryl at WCC will also tell you if it is cracked at the base of a spoke it will probably be non repairable. If the dent & crack are on the backside of the wheel then it should not be a problem.

Jim I will be at the 1-800 wheel meeting at SEMA next week with Daryl, hope to see someone from Tire rack there.
