I got some new wheels and one of them has got a small crack on the inside that has separated a little.

1.Is it repairable?

2.At what cost?

3.Where do i go?

4.Should I repaint the centers?

thanks :)

im thinking 20mm spacers so its at +24

whats a good tire size for 15x6.5's? I have a set of 205/55/15's but I have a feeling they will be to wide.

also what saw cut's threw tire best as I cant stretch to spending $5 for someone else to take the bald ones off.

Just cut thru the sidewall with a stanley knife. Its pretty easy. Then just cut thru the bead with a chisel and hammer or somthing, just be careful not to damage the wheel.

Easily Fixable

You should send them all 4 rims to be checked over, don't another crack appearing from a diffierent rim or from a hairline crack not visible under some crud.

Brugar on Barrys Point Rd. Should cost around $60-$80 at a guess. Does very good work.

got a quote from Arrow Wheels for $150+gst, that' more than i payed for all 4 so im going to give Brugar a go tomorrow, hopefully they can do it for under $100.
