Full Version: Welding cracked rims who can do it?
Hardtuned.net > Global newsgroups > Australia - Victoria

i have a few rims that are cracked, damn gutters!

talked to a few wheel repair places and they are not interested.

the rims are forged lightweight, does anyone know of any places that can weld these?

and yes i am aware that its dangerous and illegal but im only gonna be using them at the track.

has anyone had or heard of a rim being welded successfully and not had it re-crack?

Sorry, useless post here, but I guess it will just blend in with the rest of NS.

Wouldn't the fact that its purpose will be track use be more incentive to not do it??? huh.gif

im gonna agree. a fast pace over a bumpy ripple strip could put a bit too much pressure on a re-welded forged rim no.gif

See Steve at Bass Ag, he's the only guy I would use for wheel repairs. He can organize for your rims to be couriered both ways too.
