IWSTI Addict since: Apr 2006 Trader Rating: (0) |  it is my birthday and OH CRAP i somehow cracked a wheel well i noticed this morning that my tire was flat, so i took it off to check it out. i found a crack on the inside of the rim that starts at the tire and goes towards the center of the wheel(about 1 inch long). i searched but couldn't find a good answer: is this wheel toast now or is there any way to fix it?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't fixable, though you might want to try to warranty it if its the stock wheel (even if its not stock, you might be able to get it fixed by the company you got it from) if there's no sign of curbing the wheel, I'd say you'd have a fair chance of getting it covered. good luck! | |

IWSTI Addict since: Apr 2007 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: it is my birthday and OH CRAP i somehow cracked a wheel Pics would help. It could still be a manufacturing defect, and if you fight hard enough would probably be replaced for free. I would not try to fix it. A damaged rim should be replaced, not repaired. |
