cracked wheel repair
« on: March 27, 2008, 03:18:33 AM »
I have a hairline crack on one of my aluminum wheels. I was wondering if i could get it welded or maybe just smooth it out with some apoxie which hardens  like a rock.

Well.  Epoxy isn't going to help you when and if that rim decides to crack more.

Aluminum can be welded, but again that just fixes the surface.

I'd replace it man.
