Repairing a cracked wheel?
Anyone ever had a cracked wheel repaired, if so did it hold? When I uncovered my vette last weekend, one of my tires was 15 lbs low, never lost an ounce in 7 years. Pulled the wheel and tire off today, sure enough cracked wheel - thank you crappy Michigan roads. The crack is on the inner lip (bead), perpendicular to the edge. All indications are that this type of crack can be welded. Anyone have experience with this?
The wheels are ZR1 replicas that where powder coated by the previous owner, so I don’t know the powder color. If I did, I’d attempt to buy a replacement wheel. Otherwise it looks like a new set of wheels
